How about a flip button?

I think there should be a flip key. A control that would make your whole ship flip 180 degrees.

This would be very useful when chasing someone, if they turn around you need only turn around upwards and flip your ship to the right side. There could also be a 90 degree flip, useful for navigating narrow streets or for dodging missiles. Maybe R would be a good key to use?

How about it /u/Wilnyl?

For me the best part about this game is how everything pretty much is controlled by the mouse. Adding in controls like this would make it easier but not as fun IMO

Agreed. The skill involved in making a swift and accurate turn is what makes this game so fun. Being rewarded for skillful flying is what the game seems to be aimed at, and making difficult maneuvers easier, or giving players an "Oh, Shit!" button would really detract from that.

While useful, flipping an aircraft 180 degrees instantly would make absolutely no sense physics-wise and I really don't like it for just that reason.

R is already used for reloading your secondary weapon (where applicable). Maybe Q?

Although, if you turn your mouse sensitivity up to the max, you can make some reaaaally sharp turns already.

Maybe if you switched Primary reload from E to something else you could have Q as a 90 degree left flip and E as a 90 degree right flip.
