Crash Couch

Crash couches protect player characters and clones from excessive G-forces resulting from extended thrust or sudden deceleration, providing protection for acceleration up to 20 G's for up to 1 minute.

Crash couches also immobilize crew inside them, preventing them from crashing into objects upon a sudden deceleration like a ship-to-ship impact.

If no bed is available, a crew member will claim a crash couch instead, and gain a smaller effectiveness bonus.
