How to move fast / faster in space
By Vespasius
This is a very short guide on how to move faster in space, for people who can't be bothered to wait around for their ship to crawl its way across the map.

How to do the thing
When you are going around space, sometimes even the booster rings aren't fast enough for our need for speed. So, a more efficient way to move in your ships is as follows:

- First, discern where you want to go.

- Then get in your ship (the faster the better, but it should ideally be quite small to give better angles on the fourth step.)

- Then, find the nearest booster ring to your current location.

- Line yourself up THROUGH the booster ring with where you want to go BEFORE entering it.

- Hold shift to activate your own boost and go through the ring.

- Before the ring's boost runs out, make sure you are lined up with your destination. Press C to turn your engine off while the boost is active, and since momentum doesn't get stopped when you do this, you will continue on in space as if the boost was still active.
Notes (top one is important)
#1: If you are using the small, box-shaped spaceship that automatically opens and closes when you turn the engine on and off, be careful when doing this. If you are attempting to transport an item, DO NOT attempt to do this strategy with it inside this spaceship (unless someone else is holding onto the wall and the item.) It WILL fall out somehow and trust me it is not fun.

#2: If you are using the secret crystal spaceship, then obviously don't try and use your boost, as instead of making you faster it will just do the teleport thingy and it won't help. It's already really fast anyway so it's fine.

#3: This isn't very important, but it is funny. When you are zooming after turning your engine off, (or just in space in general), turn your camera so that the nose of your spaceship is facing the camera. Quickly press "C" twice to turn your engine on and off in quick succession (the quicker the better, it will stop your momentum if it is too slow). If done correctly, you will be zooming AND spinning and anyone else looking at you will be very confused lol
