If any of you're like me, there'll be few times when you need to escape especially when you're vastly outnumbered. If you use this technique, you can run from anyone with any ship (yes, even with the heaviest freighter) and no cruise disruptor will stop you.

Go into afterburner with full throttle and reach 200. Kill the engine with Z key. And tap the afterburner while making slight turns to evade lasers. Because your ship will drift and speed will decrease slowly when you kill the engine, this will keep your speed at 198~200 and your thruster will never run out when your enemies do. This method sort of makes Advanced thruster meaningless. If you have light shield, you might have to use shield batteries for couple times until you're out of range.

Another tactic is to do the same but turn 180 degrees to face your enemies and shoot at them after you kill the engine. For some reason, they don't seem to use their thrusters to catch up to you while your'e drifting away at high speed. This must be a bug.

After all enemies are off your radar, engage cruise.
