Tech Question for the Hive Mind...

Canonically, TL9 is essentially distinguished by the achievement of gravity
control technology, which (also canonically) includes both attractive and
repulsive control. This gives us floating cities (or at least floating
Imperial Palaces), air/rafts, GCarriers, et multae ceterae.
Arguendo, assume that the laws of physics do not admit of repulsive
gravitational manipulation. No floating palaces, no air/rafts or GCarriers
as we know them. You get attractive gravitational manipulation, and some
ability to do it directionally, and with controllable range. 'Blocking'
isn't possible, so no "anti-gravity screens (or walls)".
What are the effects on planetary construction, ships, vehicles, und so
weiter?
