I never knew you could do this! If there is a planet in combat you can use it to slingshot your large ships - their top speed is increased when near the planet center. If you coast from that point, you don't decelerate unless hitting asteroids, nebulae, etc. Got a paragon coasting along at 150

Sorry if everyone else already knew this - I was just excited

stars in combat also cause damage if you diddent know that.

incase you were wondering, he was refering to the idea of gravity assist or orbital slingshot, shown here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_assist

Both of these observations are awesome news. I had no clue that Alex & Co. hid so many functional "easter eggs" within Starfarer. Well done, dudes.
