Think smaller

http://www.artificial-gravity.com/sw/SpinCalc/

If a single starship could be made to rotate on its longest axis at 4rpm, you could achieve a decent 0.45g at the nose. If the center of mass was closer to the engines, you could do even better.

The sierra space 19m habitat could give you 0.16g @ 4rpm

If you launched some inflatable donut at 100 meters diameter, that's 0.5g @ 3rpm

Play with it and have fun

Don't you think the largest Sierra Space LIFE module would make a decent spin gravity station?

At 19m that gives you mars G at 6 rpm
