Hitting the speed limit puts you in a kind of "Hyper-control" mode

Because of my not-really-naïve-but-not-really-intelligent-either implementation of speed limits in the player.thrust() method, there are two interesting behaviors at full-speed:

1. If you hold UP while at full-speed and then turn, you turn like a car, not like a space-ship.
2. If you're going full-speed (not holding UP) turn (nearly-)90-degrees, and then hit UP, the turn is (near-)instant.

I'm almost tempted not to fix it because it's kind of an easter egg and not remotely helpful in terms of gameplay.

I've been thinking about this, and the problem is that you reach the speed limit. The universe also has a speed limit, c, but you can't reach it. (It's an interesting thought experiment: what happens if you're going c and accelerate directly to your left?)

I'm trying to think if there's a way to do this besides effectively treating the speed limit as c and using the relativistic energy/momentum equations in thrust().
