Re: Ship atmospheres and canon material

I remember that too.  That's one of the things I was thiking about when I
questioned how everyone else handled gravity.

The whole discussion brings up a question for me though.  What would happen
if you had a ship in space and somehow (conjuring for example) a large
volume of water appeared in the envelope.  Would it settle in a layer in the
middle of the gravity plane with half the volume on either side?  Would it
bleed out as it's pulled toward the edge of the envelope?  I assume it must,
cause if it didn't, it would be an easy way to transport a large volume of
water (of course, you're trading air for it.)  Which brings up another
question, what happens to the displaced air?  Is it forced out when the
water is created and then when the water leaves the air envelope is smaller
by that amount?
