Are you sure?
Because if true that Is some really Light Gravity.  Almost a Negative Gravity, But not Quiet.

Bear in mind that Earth has 1. 00 G.  This means it has a gravitational acceleration of ~ 9. 81ms-2

So for Neptune with it being 1. 10 G as you said, it has a gravitational pull of 1. 10*9. 81 = 10. 8ms-2
A Google search shows its actual value as ~11. 15ms-2 which was probably simplified in Aurora.

For your other questions, I don't think the gravity of any planet affects ships in Aurora 4X.

Also, the starting gravity tolerance for humans (assuming nothing was changed) is from 0. 10G to 1. 90G.

Why shouln't such small values be fine for small bodies?

Wikipedia: Scientific notation#E-notation

Do you have period properly set as your decimal separator?

It's scientific notation, it means the decimal is adjusted by the number after the E. For example, 1.234E-4 would be  .0001234.

I understand that for a Normal Terrestrial Planet (earth) Gravity is ( or Should be ) A 1.00.
However I have been Finding Gravity's like 2.00E-04, 1.11E-04, 1.68E-04, 7.96E-05, 6.82E-05, 1.41E-04, 5.68E-05,
1.59E-04, 8.95E-05, then On Neptune A Gas Giant a Gravity of 1.10.
what i am asking is 2.00E-04 is what? ( 2 times Earth Gravity? ), 1.11E-04 ( 11% over Earths Gravity? )
Also what is the -04 or 05 Mean??
On gravity's Over 2.22E-04 would the Gravity Crush any ship? What about Neptune? it is a Gas Giant. As of 2016 era Nothing we can Make can Survive In a Gas Giant.
I am Just asking as to How far Up or Down the Gravity Scale Can a Human Body take? ( Unmodified of Course )
And Depending on the Body Mods in Biology/Genetics you can go + or - 15%, 30%, 60%, and 75% of Gravity.
Just asking for a Bit of a explaining on the Gravity's of Planet's, Moons ,Dwarf Planet & Gas Giants!
thanks for any Help on this, If it is Listed somewhere else Please tell me.
