Neko G-force Limitations?

What are the g-force tolerances of the Type 33 Neko?

Using the NH-7 Tech Manual as a references, most NH-7 models had a limit of 29g's. Is that still accurate?
 
Honestly, it was probably a bit of overkill. But Nekovalkyrja can probably withstand twice the G forces a human can, so maybe like 20 G is a good "modern" limit for Type 33 series Nekovalkyrja, who are made with complex nano/femto scale technology and designed for improved functionality even in space and spaceships doing a lot of acceleration.

Feel free to add that to the Nekovalkyrja wiki page and if you have any more questions or suggestions I'm always happy to hear them! That goes for anyone else, too, so feel free to add your replies.
 
20g for a Neko might not actually be all that overkill!

Most astronauts and fighter pilots train to be able to withstand about 7-9g. The only reason they cant is the oxygen cuts off to their brain and the brain essentially blacks out as an evolutionary response pretty much programmed into it to preserve oxygen and protect the brain.

If a neko has their own personal gravity field and their body is essentially tiny nanomachines that can carry oxygen for them instead of relying specifically on the heart to pump it they could easily get to 20g. Likewise they could easily withstand 20g if their machine brains simply arent programmed to black out when presented with high G-forces.

So that is pretty possible! Anything above that tho might be a stretch because 10+ Gravities will begin to crush your organs after a minute and can/will kill a normal person as it pretty much squeezes your brain. At 20+ Gravities the human body essentially will push your rib cage through your chest as horizontal G-forces push your weak flesh back and slowly and painfully off of your bones and muscle and dislocate all of your joints with even minor sustained exposure. It isn't really something you can bio-engineer your way out of with stronger bones and muscles and even with a gravity field it is like blowing air from your mouth against the wind.

So with their bodies' durability and personal gravity field, I'm pretty sure a neko could survive a few minutes of 20g but repeated or prolonged exposure to that or anything higher would make her grateful for hemosynth as she spends a good amount of time immobile in a hospital bed while a lot of her ships medical staff play Jenga with most of her body just trying to make it look relatively human-shaped again kind of like untangling your headphones as soon as you take them out of your pocket.

In PA or something tho I think the sky is the limit if you don't try to do a somersault while going 50g and even their suits limbs go flying in all directions against those kinds of force~

I’d like to to note that, even with increased tolerance for G-forces exerted on their bodies, Neko likely do not even experience anywhere near their 20G limit in most situations per their inertial controlling ability.

They can “manipulate gravitational, electrostatic and magnetic forces… in zero to two gravities.” If read straight, they could use this ability to compensate for G-Forces inflicted upon them in most situations, excepting planets or other places with extreme gravitational pulls beyond two standard measures of gravity (in real life, each unit is equal to Earth’s gravity).
