Also, "No Midcourse Corrections", as when they stealthily approach to infiltrate Niska's station. Also perhaps when the Millenium Falcon drops off the Star Destroyer along with the garbage. Buys off the penalty for trying to hit a destination with only one initial impulse.

An analogy to what terrestrial pilots call "Nap of the Earth" might work in Star Wars-like games where you can dodge around and through asteroids and giant starship architecture.

shooting a pistol out the cockpit window... I can't see this coming up.
Like WWI before planes were armed. Might translate it to a low (for space) tech game, or a demilitarized or pacifistic one. Open the airlock or shuttle doors and blast the enemy. Though it doesn't seem like it'd come up so often people are going to sink a lot of CP into the Technique.
