From my dusty recollections of The Physics Of Star Trek and ST:NG Technical Manual (and elsewhere), the entire purpose of those inertial dampeners is to keep the the crew from getting killed whenever the ship accelerates to speed (be it a fraction of the speed of light or beyond it.) They're more something to enable faster space travel than a defensive system. Also, I'm told, the response time of the inertial dampeners is 60 milliseconds, and I'm sure there's plenty of examples of crews in the shows getting thrown 'a few feet.' I know this doesn't mean anything for a more generic setting, where you might change how the inertial dampeners work, change what their purpose is supposed to be, how much kinetic energy the shields are supposed to absorb or counter, and if there are other systems on the ship to cushion or worsen the effects. -
Calling 911 because my custom Kerbal OC (do not steal), who is the expert who knows everything about astronomy, physics, chemistry, piloting, explosives, and dozens of other very smart topics, while also being rich, universally loved, and a very cool dude, died during his first rocket launch.
