The body already has a very sophisticated damage control system, and it would be only logical to wire the pilots to feel damage and systems stress as physical discomfort. The higher the damage, the sharper the discomfort. | |

You are correct though. I should have handwaved away the inertia issue like I did the processing speed issue. Maybe an inertial damper field... | |
