Just thought of another one: it would be quite useful to have an option during time trial or speed lap to have the camera follow your ghost instead of your ship for a complete lap (using either internal, close or far view, just like normally).

Why this would be great is because sometimes I have no idea what I did during my current record run (perhaps it was days or weeks since I last played the track, or I just took a turn or a series of turns instinctively), and when I try to beat that time, I see my ghost swoosh out of sight or overtake me when I know I had at least half a second advantage over it due to better piloting earlier on in the lap. When this happens, I usually go "What the flying intercourse did I do there to be so fast?" and currently the only way to check is is from your ship's point of view (AFAIK ), which sometimes isn't enough to determine what the difference is, especially at phantom speed.
