Pat's musicals would all be early 2000s cock rock like Wolfmother. I can just imagine how horrible they'd be.

I'd be more worried about the giant fucking lake in the middle of the habitats.
You can strap people down. What happens when the gravity stops and tens of millions of tons of water start to float?
What happens when the gravity comes back on?
One sentence, describing how safety shutters close over the lake would have fixed it.
That lake is going to be disturbed when they "Flip" the ship anyway, so it needs them.
Which brings me to another thing - the Ark is powered by that 50's propulsion idea where they drop huge nuclear bombs and the ship has a huge shield that rides the shock waves right?
Well what happens when the ship flips and you have to use it to slow down?
Going forward, you're leaving the nuke behind you, trying to use it to slow down, you're ploughing straight into it... hundreds of times an hour, for hours... your ships gonna have to be built like a fucking 40K Gloriana Class to withstand it. Wasn't this one of the reasons this form of propulsion never made it off the drawing board?
The Ark hasn't got any armor, its got aerogel, and a thin aluminum skin.
The Vengeful Spirit it ain't.
Better hope those 200 year old engineers knew their shit, and that the ship that's been decaying (as described by Patrick thoroughly) for those 200 years hasn't been weakened and its structure compromised.
Pats editors are fucking terrible at their jobs as he is at his, and considering he is traditionally published, its unforgivable.

Your description reminds me of that old Simpsons joke, "The mighty robots of Battlestar Galactica vs the gay robots of Star Wars"
The mighty and venerable Vengeful Spirit of Warhammer 40k, a ship that is 10000 years old, with enough room to house armies and enough firepower to annihilate fleets and planets

the thin hulled Anal-plug-Ark of Patrick Tomlinson, coated in futuristic lube for smooth insertion

That's what I mean, it's one thing using nuclear explosions as a means of propulsion, but using it to slow down from like 1/3 light speed or whatever the fuck you'd need to get to Tau Ceti in 200 years... that ship is going to take a hell of a beating, shit, even the Vengeful Spirit is probably going to be feeling it taking nukes to the nose for hours at a time...
The scene on the Battlestar Galactica remake, where Galactica tanks a Cylon nuke, I've got a book written by the guys that were the tech advisors for the show, and real physicists, and they were saying despite the less effective nature of nukes in a vacuum, it's still got to be tough to tank a nuke going off right next to the hull, and they worked out the hull plating on Galactica would have to be 5 meters of Tungston Carbide to take a 100KT nuke like that, if it was in contact with the hull when it detonated.
And that was just one.
The Ark's going to be flying into hundreds of them, one after the other, and not using it to be pushed away by ablative plate vaporizing, but to slow down from 300KPS or whatever crazy speed Pat said.
The Spirit could probably take it, but anything less tanky than that...I'm pretty sure the guys that came up with this propulsion method abandoned it for a good reason.

No, he'd rather do that at the bar itself so people could see him being a giant lardass, I mean great writer, and also child anyone who tried to talk to him. I remember his bar story about how someone dared to talk to him when he was "writing," like he's so fucking autistic he doesn't even know people go to bars to socialize.
If you want to go to a bar and write, you find one of those very cozy alcoves you mention. In that case, anyone trying to talk to you would be the dick, and you're not ostentatiously fat-fingering and childing people on Twitter on your "this machine kills fascists" stickered laptop (that he actually does that is an act of the fattest faggotry imaginable).
It's the sad state of modern "science" fiction. Can you imagine Larry Niven pulling any of these lame, halfwit stunts that this fat drunken retard does in every book?

Not to defend, or try to fix, Fatricks terrible fucking writing. But for the ark you'd be releasing the bombs between the hull and the sail. The sail previously withstood the explosions, so "shouldnt" be a problem. I have made a hi-res rendering of The Ark in blender with its likely sail configuration, and where the bombs would detonate to slow it down. The bomb debris would get collected up in the sail at this point. In "Deceleration mode" you'd release the bombs fromt eh tail of the ship and as the ship moved away, detonate them by the sail/parachute.
In this rendering The Ark is moving from left to right so the sail, or parachute, is tailing behind the ship.

Your model took 100x more thought than Patrick gave, or is capable of giving, to the ships in his book.

That sort of makes more sense.
I thought by the way he kept talking about "the flip" they were going to 180⁰ flip the ship and use the big rear ablative shield to absorb the energy to slow down the same way its used to get it up to speed, like the design for Project Orion, which was the 1950's nuclear bomb propulsion system.
The Orion Project's idea was to have a huge "pusherplate" at the rear of the ship, and the nukes would vaporize some of the ablative shielding, protecting the ship with the blast pushing it along.
If it's some kind of hybrid solar sail device that just raises even more questions, because the bombs are still going off between the sail and the ship, without even the protection of the ablative pusher plate, which would have had shock absorbers built into it.
What's shielding the ship from the blasts going off every minute or shorter?
What is this "Flip" he keeps talking about then?

If that real tough guy lifted weights regularly, yes. As others in the thread have pointed out, the things that F@t regularly proclaims to do often leave clear evidence of consistent execution (look at the hands, faces, and ears of men who regularly lift weights and practice combat skills/sports to see what I mean). Being strong, being a good fighter, being a good writer, being ridiculously obese, being an insufferable faggot, all these things are skills. Like any skills, they're perishable. Based on his social media history, I'd say we know which skills Rick is choosing to perpetuate.
Plus, this is Piggy we're talking about. He'd never shut the fuck up about PRs in the gym, on the range, fist fights he'd won, etc. if he was actually doing any of those things.

And then you'd be running directly into the nuke instead of away from it like the acceleration portion. Of course, you could have a different system to decelerate than you used to get up to relativistic velocity in the first place, but why?
Why wouldn't you have just used that to accelerate in the first place instead of some retarded thing involving nuclear bombs?
