I don't know how others figure it, but my creations have internal antigrav
generators. It's a very small device that can fit just about anywhere on
the spacecraft (though preferable at its center of mass). Problem with
antigrav is that it has to be near a massive (ie, gravity-generating) object
in order to have something to repell against. Antigrav is good for take off
and landing, but not interstellar flight. That's why I figure all ships
need antigrav _and_ thrusters.
My two cents and a small attempt to pull this back toward space...

Polar opposites of basic forces do not exist. Secondly, (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)
