Right now I pretty much have to play with space dust particles on because otherwise I have no sense of which way my ship is moving, and that's just annoying! With the thrust update this may become even more critical as a lot of fast ships may use quite a bit more thrust for their forward and reverse thrust than for orthogonal thrust (up, down, left, and right). Because of this, some ships may find it harder to slow down when going sideways so being able to tell which way they're going will...
