A Gravity Generator is a device used to create artificial gravity. It may only be place on large ship or station building blocks. The orientation of the gravity generator dictates the direction of gravity. The gravitational acceleration can be configured using a slider, with possible values being between -1g and 1g.

Using multiple generators at different angles will all play a role on the direction gravity effects the player or objects. Their effective radius for artificial gravity is 70 meters.

Considered alternatives, and usage information is available on Marek Rosa's development blog[1]
