[Star Trek] how much inertia is dampened by the inertial dampeners percentage-wise?
gpt
Except for extremely rare circumstances the dampeners can compensate for 100% of inertia changes.  There is however a problem with response times.  For a planned acceleration (navigation or approach to a large stellar mass) this delay is compensated for, providing a perfect response.  In unexpected situations (under fire, rapidly fluctuating turbulence, collisions) this delay leads to an initial change in inertia, that is quickly compensated for.
