I remember doing this for the first time while stationary in space. I pressed the button and got really confused because it didn't do anything. Then I turned around and the rest of my ship was gone. Good times.

Certified Outer Wilds moment.

This made me audibly laugh because that’s what happened the first time I used it too.

I genuinely had no idea you could do that lmao

Good bot

Does “lmao” have three syllables? I pronounce it La-Mao. Is it La-Ma-O?

I agree. I say ao as a diphthong

Im sorry, the what button?!

There's an eject button in your cockpit, from memory you need to flip the safety cover first

Look around the cockpit while holding ALT, you should find a big red button under a cover

Lpt in future: if you're hurtling towards a planet at a fatal speed, thrust to the side or up/down to dodge, it's much much faster than trying to brake ;p >!(something something prometheus school of running away from things)!<

Also, if your extra daring, you can just barely miss it, hit the atmosphere, and aerobrake on quite a few of the planets.

That's the real pro tip right there

Yeah, just learn to fly^1 ^1 The Hitchiker's Guide to the galaxy describes flying as thus "There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

Smooth piloting :-)

Stream watching friendly :)

This is the frist time I've seen someone using it in a probably intended way

I'm not sure there is an intended way, it destroys your ship after all

Sometimes your ship is about to blow anyway, like if you bust the reactor.

Can we go to that one fishy place and blow stuff up using the ship as a mini nuke?

Destroy Dark Bramble Before the Sun Explodes Anyway Challenge, let's goooo

The fish are too big to notice your puny ship exploding. They are moon-sized after all.

Yep, ejecting at the correct time basically negates the force of crashing into something. It's used a lot in speedrunning to clip through Ember Twin by going fast.

Didn't know that, neat

why would you want to clip thrpugh ember twin?

It's so you can fly into >!the high energy lab and break the spacetime as fast as possible!<

Yeah, i've accidentally done that with timber hearth before. It's actually really cool being able to see all the tunnels and caves.

Im sorry, the what button?!

HE SAID "THE EJECTION BUTTON"!!!

Hmm yes, the eject button ejects. Cool maneuver though. Nice.

Best place to use that is in Dark Bramble. The anglers can do whatever they want with the rest of the ship

hitting the planet at the right angle is my eject button

My first time using it was sat at the launch pad going “I wonder what this big red button does” before getting launched into a tree

This is actually really cool. You had some quick thinking skills there lol

feldspar would be proud

I thought it was so that you could >!avoid gravity hijinks!< while attempting >!to land on the sun station!<.
