  I agree that that is the logical answer, but I remember either the Starship
OpMan or Grand Survey claiming that artificial grav inside a ship falls off
*faster* than normal gravitation.

  Ignoring the possibility that this is the result of some 'blackbox doubletalk'
the best explanation (IMHO) is that starship hulls are grav-shielded similarly
to densitometers to keep the artificial grav inside them to prevent it from
messing up the environment.
