Whoe knew? Fun things that helped me

Two things worth knowing. Firstly, if you tap thrusters when boosting in your ship it stops the thruster so you can save it once you've avoided missle lock or arrived at you target. Secondly, and I learned this here, your ship has thrusters. Now I may be the only one who didn't know this but both of these were game changers for me. Bonus fact I also learned here: you have to hold the trigger down to power up the magsniper or it is just a pea shooter. Hope this is helpful for someone!
