  • $\begingroup$ I had also thought of something similar enough to this, but 5 hours too late! Consider also the solenoid and magnetic field generation. You could wrap a ship in the gravity solenoid, which limits its effects to (mostly) inside, effectively reducing the mass of the ship without tearing apart everything around it. You get reduced mass for atmospheric maneuvers AND the ability to have gravity inside but not outside $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @PipperChip Actually, the analog to the solenoid is a real thing! Feel free to post that as a new answer. I first saw that in a novel by Robert L. Forward. Though the hyperdense fluid (monopole-stabilized black hole dust) was made up :) ) $\endgroup$
