New description:

 This is a challenging task. We usually want a (not really realistic or
 physically) flying behavior, but there must exist some complicated tricks
 to do crazy stuff with your spaceship.

 Think about other games, some of the most popular online games owe their
 success to a special movement feature or other advanced tricks. Some
 examples:
  - Quake: Strafejumping
  - Unreal Tournament: Dodge, doublejumps

 The idea is: Make the game easy for beginners, but challenging for
 advanced players. This allows us to create funny features like a spaceship
 race or just the ability to escape a strong enemy with a clever trick.

 Possible movement features are:
  - Fast turn
  - Turning wihtout changing flight direction (which is even more realistic
 than our current rail-movement)
  - A harpoon to connect with another object
  - Tailspin (half-controlled?)
  - ...
