The Death Stars gravity generator would allow for an easy transition for small ships and no noticable transition for larger ships with there own gravity generator.

Any web2.0 tech like rails perhaps not. I would think erlang could be an excellent implementation choice for Project Death Star gravity generator. Any web2.0 tech like rails perhaps not.
