I read this a long time ago in The Hackers manual. It's a game feature not exploit. Is droping lanes with a mine an exploit? Is fast docking an exploit?

No, and kind of, respectively.

What makes you think it's intended that one should be able to power up their engines while they're turned off?

Just imagine doing this against a pirate in a cruiser. Point your trader towards the lane ring behind it, make him type, while he does so, floor it.

HOW TO CATCH LAME TRADERS/MINERS

Some of you may still be unaware of this simple trick.
What does it give you? About 1.5 m/s extra cruise speed(for fighters and bombers).
How does it work?



The red lines are continuations of the ship's traces.
The white line is the ship's longitudinal axis.

To get the desired effect, make the imaginary red lines cross at your destination.
Simply strafe and move the pointer a bit in opposite direction - and you get a small speed boost.

Cruise strafe, there was a thread about it some time ago.
