    Oh yeah absolutely. But I’m almost certain I’ve heard them complain about the intertial dampeners being maxed out or something when they’ve been flung to crazy warp factors by one of the various near-omnipotent aliens they seem to encounter at least once a season lol.

      I’d love to start making up nerdy explanations, and I mean its plausible bending spacetime all willy nilly might have some local inertial side-effects, but the concept of inertial dampers is honestly quite out there. That and the artificial gravity.

      They’re inside a bubble of newtonion rules while doing crazy things to the space around them. If something jostles them hard enough, the whole crew would stop being biology and become physics. Inertial dampers stop that.
