Maybe even then.

John Mathurin (Xeknos)Also, the Empire and Federation will not exchange intelligence for any reason. Except for maybe the Thargoids.
Maybe even then.
No, that they won't. At least not on a large scale. Private individuals or even small law offices may share some on known criminals if it serves a mutually beneficial outcome.

This was of course sandwiched between posts about hugging Thargoids, remaking the galaxy in the image of Fat Eddie, and some truly dank cat memes.

There was a point where there was speculation about the FSD having gravity altering properties. That seems like a stretch.
The argument was made that the ships have artificial gravity. I have never seen any evidence of this, the pilot is strapped in, the bobble heads can simply be rigid enough to simulate being in gravity, and I still refuse to believe that the federal assault ship has two coffee makers.
Another argument was given that in order for the pilot to survive the massive G strain of hyperspace acceleration, there must be an artificial gravity system for counteracting G-forces.
I don't buy into this theory either, it is entirely possible to redout from Gstrain in game and the bobble heads moving at all argue against G force nullifiers. I imagine there's a physics isolation zone in the form of a warp bubble that saves us from g force death in hyperspace.
Tldr, I'm on team "Artificial Gravity isn't canon"

Either way, I think it's been established somewhere that FSDs don't work by accelerating the ship from zero to multiple times the speed of light. Instead they wrap the ship in a kind of bubble and space moves around it. As a result, in the ship, acceleration is close to zero. This is probably what is meant by the 'Gravity Altering Properties' that you mentioned.
