How will you make players feel the speed of the ships?asked by Kulgur

A lot of it is just little artistic tricks that you do: put space dust out there so you see something moving past. Because space doesn't give you a lot of reference points that are close by. To feel speed, all the Wing Commanders have done it. There's always been space dust.

It's kind of like if you've ever been in the car as a little kid and you're looking out at the moon and you're driving, you drive 50 miles and it looks like the moon is just following you and it's not really moving anywhere, although you're moving. So it's kind of like that. The stars are so far away that you're not really going to notice a lot of that moving. But space dust, however, will give you that instantaneous feedback which we are required to give you. So that will happen.
