Please give the Zephyr a speed bonus when facing away from a star.

Velocity = baseSpeed + baseSpeed * ((1 - (fwd dot dirStar)) * 5.0)

fwd = way ship is facing
dirStar = the direction to the star
baseSpeed = base speed
5.0 = makes it similar to a mwd


EDIT : equation....stopping dead or going backwards would not be good

+1, my solar sail is broken too. Also I think it would be REALLY cool if the speed boost you got depended on how far away from the star you are (realism counts. doesn't it?)
