No idea how this would ever actually work in reality for manned spaceflight. For unmanned it seems relatively doable (ignoring the entire cost of getting it off the ground and into space first). But for a manned mission? Being subject to 2-4g is one thing, but to have it happen regularly... like a jackhammer almost? Sounds like a really bad trip. You could not do anything while that engine was firing (not that it'd be easy to do something under 2g constant acceleration) without risk of being in the wrong place/position at the wrong time. I don't know what the long terms effects of repeated, assumingly rapid, 2-4g pulsing is on the human body.... but I'd guess it falls under "can't be anything good" category.
