More WOW moments in Rift

[Tetsuko]

So, I'm chasing this adder through the rocks in a Resource Extraction Site. He's right in front of me when he blows up, enormous explosion and I can't see a thing. When all the debris clears I'm heading straight for a huge rock I swear I quite literally started to dive out of my chair. Managed to clear the thing by a couple of feet. The rock. Not the chair.... Rift can get real scary at times.

Then, I got my canopy blown out in another dogfight and I'm hurriedly heading for the nearest station when I notice an extra reflection around the edge of my view. Disappeared as soon as the air got replenished at the station. I think it's the oxygen mask deploying over your face (as in the illustrations in the pilot's manual someone produced in beta) - anyone else noticed it? Never saw anything like it when this happened while using a monitor. I refuse to go get my canopy shot out again just to confirm it.... But if that's what it is that's some nice attention to detail by the devs.

Yes, the remlock visor is more visible on a flat screen, but the reflections from it can be seen in the rift - it is more noticeable at the extreme left and right of your vision where it curves and folds, but where you can't see so well due to the rift's lenses.

Planetary approaches in a Lakon Type-7 are amazing due to the huge all-around glass canopy (180 degrees+ vision) - I have overshot a few stations admiring a planet or the rings around it. The station Iben Hub at Iota Hydri is an Earth-like planet with ice rings, which looks amazing as you come in to the station there.
