Comment on Should Neutron Stars be Added to the Periodic Table?
Khanzarate@lemmy.world 1 day agoWell thats what the artificial gravity is for.
They also use it for walking and whatnot, of course, but that’s an add-on. The real purpose is so they can siphon off some neutron star stuff and hold it between them and an enemy without it exploding.

you know… I wouldn’t put it past starfleet to think that was a good idea.
I mean, they don’t use surge protectors, they don’t use seatbelts, they don’t have handrailing. They don’t secure their cargos. and there are those times where the gravity gets conked out.

Clearly the gravity capacitors are aligned in such a way that in the case of gravity failure, the outer gravitronic shell fails first, causing the neutronium to evacuate safely in the direction of anyone else, while the inner shell maintains for a second or so longer, preventing an implosion.
That, and transporter shenanigans. They just beam up the neutronium before shutdown.
