Wicked things

This may not be new but I discover this wicked thing last night - you can park your ship somewhere and hit f2 four times then move the camera away from the ship - which means you are effectively floating around invisibly - kinda like being a ghost!

(It's a great technique for taking screengrabs)

Also using this technique you can take a cosmic rain shower - take a ship ie hornet with 4small and fit all with flechette then park near a flat surface of a station - pointing at it just enough so when you fire you hit it... then you leave the ship using f2x4 float down to the station and look back up at your ship - then you press fire

It's insane!

Try pressing F2 once, then pressing F3. Do this while boosting. :P
