When you realy want to see ships flying backwards you must look at a buoy repair station. Ships on the external docks fly backward to leave the dock.

(But this is actually cheating as the ships are temporary replaced with flipped models that have the back at their nose)
Why do they? Makes no sense...
It does. Obviously you've never seen a Buoy Repair Station. Their external docks are like your average parking lot in front of the supermarket. Lots of cars parked next to each other, all of them facing the supermarket wall. Now, how would you ever leave your parking space if not by driving five meters backwards?

I shall take up this challenge of getting an asteroid to hit a station (using my massive hauler p30)
