* SpaceFriction: Mostly played straight, sometimes to ridiculous extent with disabled vessels coasting to a stop. Slightly averted with the use of the "Slide" maneuver, whose activation cuts your engines and lets your ship coast at its current velocity for as long as you hold down the 'slide' mode switch. Can be used to go beyond normal "top speed", if you activate 'slide' mode while at afterburner; this is extremely useful in some missions where one objective is to get to such-and-so point before someone else does.
** Much more importantly, 'slide' mode allows you to fire off-axis -- that is, to rotate your ship's nose away from your line of travel so that you can fire perpendicular (or at any angle) to the direction in which you're moving. Consider this capability in the context of, say, an attack on a capital ship, and you'll begin to understand why, in spite of its actually being closer to what "real space combat" might be like than most games bother to offer, some folks consider 'slide' mode a GameBreaker.
