Just look at all the damage they cause when they "hit". I know that car has an engine of some sort and not dampeners but the expelled energy should be similar. Also, all those black and while troops throughout the trailer - Dust mercs? 
They should definitely be doing damage upon impact, and considering the mercs in the Fanfest trailer did make craters in the ground, I think they will.
I've landed on a sniper once, he lived, I didn't. |

.
Inertia doesn't go away. It can't.
What the inertial dampeners do is "capture" what is in side, so IT doesn't feel the impact as much, the outside of the bubble will receive every ounce of energy of the impact. |

All nuclear energy does, is release energy bound in matter.
When using the term Dark energy and matter, it is just referring to the energy and matter we can't detect directly, but must be there for the equations we have to make sense. It is a placeholder till we can dig into that aspect of the universe, the idea is that dark energy is to light energy, what antimatter is to matter, except that instead of a massive energy release upon contact, dark and light energy might just do the opposite, and cancel each other out entirely.
Lawrence Krauss have the following interesting formula for the universe:
(Light energy + energy bound in light matter) - (dark energy + energy bound in dark matter) = 0.
In other words, the universe did come from nothing.

Interesting. Much obliged.
However, that nuclear part was just a side note which I was ignoring for the sake of that arguement. While interesting I still think it's irrelevant to the discussion of inertial dampeners.
True :P |
