Tachyon-like Maneuvers
Has anyone beeen using the cut engine key? I mean besides just to go "Hey, it doesn't stop automatically. Physics at work!" It's actually pretty cool.
When you turn off the engine, you continue in the direction you were facing in when you cut them, and you can look in any direction like Turret View, except that this lets you put your FRONT GUNS to bear on anything around you. And what's even better is you can boost then cut the engine, so that the ship doesn't slow down to "sitting duck level" for quite a while.
This brings me to the title of my post. After doing your pseudo-turret view with your ship, you can turn the engine back on and it will shoot back to full speed in the direction your facing, just like Tachyon: The Fringe's special Sliding technique.
