Pro-tip: Entering Warp (Gaming)

When you're leaving a space station, point your ship in a direction that's clear of obstacles. If you open your map to set a waypoint like I typically do, once you leave and the camera is zooming back to your ship, you can just hold X to engage Warp immediately without having to wait for your ship to accelerate like normal.

This is great for just getting started faster, but it can also work to get you out of tricky situations if the enemy is swarming you. You may be pulled back out of Warp immediately, but you it's typically enough to give you a bit of distance and can usually get to Warp on the second try.
