Easter Eggs
Blue Zephyr
Sometimes you will come across a Polaris Zephyr named Shade of Blue. He was the beta tester who named the ship he flies. He has extra weapons that the normal Zephyr doesn't have, such as a 200mm Rail Gun. If you capture him, he will stay blue. You can then fly around and impress your friends with your blue Zephyr.

Glitches
Loop around in systems
If you fly far enough in one direction without entering hyperspace, you'll eventually appear on the other side of the system you are currently in. Hostile ships, auto-pilot and escorts will act as though you were still on the side you were initially on. This is useful landing on blockaded planets
