#High-Accel Nav Station?

Expensive combo of the Standard Nav Console and the Passenger Seat - with five-point harness and high-g cushioning. Takes same amount of space and doubles the pilot's G-tolerance.

BUT:

  • Takes time to get in and out of (20 seconds each way, player traits speed/slow this)

  • Prohibits clothing changes when in use (breaches/boarding actions get dicier)

  • Uncomfortable for long-term use (affects sleep and mood negatively)

This should make it mostly useless for low-G operations (i.e., K-LEG), and also prompt the need for alternate seating between acceleration periods (such as with a dedicated pilot and/or passenger lounge). Could also be usable as a secondary station for larger vessels, where the pilot swaps from one station to the other as needs dictate, foregoing the need for a lounge per se.

expand: allow pairing it with low-g nav console. or/or will be useless. But idea is interesting

Ah, I wasn't clear about that being the intent with the last sentence there -:)
