	In Response To: gravity and level design (Soapstone) : The floors and ceilings are flat because the Marathon engine is incapable of : rendering them at any other angle. Cop-out :P : The Marathon probably does not use : artificial gravity because, if it did, your motion sensor would be screwy : when onboard the Marathon (as it is when onboard the Pfhor scoutship, : which does use artificial gravity). Durandal says that the Pfhor ship generates a "pulsed magnetic field" which interferes with the motion tracker, and that they have "lighter artificial gravity". Also note that the stars out the window do not move on either ship. : Deimos (Marathon IS Deimos) might have : enough mass to provide adequate gravity by itself. If that's the case, : then the levels must radiate outward from the center of gravity. Sorry, it's way too small... you could probably exceed escape velocity by jumping. 8 kilometers is way too small for effective gravity.
