Given a rough idea of the size, we could pick holes in the rotation speed. That looks on the slow side to me.
but they already have artificial gravity. it's not like babylon 5 where the humans have to do it because they haven't invented artificial gravity and all the aliens that have won't give it to them. the ship has artificial gravity in front and in back, but in the middle it's spinny bits because...................................??????

Thank you for allowing me not to watch that. I can't loving stand (watching) Sandi.

Agreed thank you GORF. Watching her really takes the fun out of this. I can't help but empathize with what the average CIG employee puts up with. Infinite narcissism in an untouchable position of company power. What boggles my mind is that nobody sees a problem with a husband and wife being the top decision makers (including HR) in 300 person company. How can any legitimate complaint about either of them be heard or resolved? The fear and resentment among their employees has to just be spectacular.

Nah, it's spinning bcuz COOL. All the SC ships have some sort of artificial gravity, I think. Either way if you feel like being a math nerd, right now the Orion is listed at 170 meters in length.

Which is hilarious because so far they have yet to make a ship that didn't get bigger as they made it.

It's F2P. That's what I heard from the devs, and that's what all the websites covering it are saying. :shrug:

I was wondering what you were talking about but you're right, it needs another centrifuge spinning clockwise to counter the torque generated by the other two centrifuges.

However, the centrifuges are supposed to be for living quarters, because that's where you need the simulated gravity the most for long journeys. But, somehow, this never crossed anyone's mind and they just thought it was "cool" and "realistic" without thinking the why it's realistic?

Looks more like a homeless man broke into the abandoned Austin office and ate the pizzas that were delivered. Sandi was probably there with the realtor showing the premise to a potential buyer and came across that site, and tried spinning everything into a positive.
