What's wrong with this picture?

Per the title,,, what's wrong with this picture? Coz when it happened, was pretty awesome... unfortunately shadowplay stuffed up and didn't get it so I just have a screenshot

Answer in the spoiler tag below.

Spoiler

Supercruising in reverse (look at the speedo)

No idea what happened, but just evaded an interdiction which went a bit sketch, and when I got out the planet in front of me was moving away. Took about 20 seconds to get back to forward momentum... obviously a bug, but pretty awesome when it happened XD

I was gonna say the fairy lights.

Is it the inability to see out of the ship because of blinding lights and obstructions?
You know they banned things hanging from the rear view mirror where I used to live for much less.

You're going backwards in Super Cruise how?


EDIT: How does nobody else not see this to the point you had to put a spoiler up for the answer?

Are you moving backwards in supercruise?

 

[Stealthie]

You ran out of Flakes to stick in your 99 cones?

 

[Icybow73]

The fact that the installation you are approaching is undockable?

To be honest, it's hard to tell you were in supercruise given the picture, as I have seen this when reversing thrust.

Even Palin’s DD5 drags don’t get up to 7.37c though
The orbit lines are a good clue too.

Though I had to look several times before I could spot the strangeness!

Reverskis out of control

Reverskis out of control

Yup, and others before. It actually peaked at around 103c after evading the interdiction. During the interdiction, it was doing a lot of this so I'm assuming the game lost track of the direction I was faction, but still had my velocity/direction of travel. Was a cool if somewhat disconcerting effect, going reverse in supercruise!
