This has been in since 2016, but don't forget there's a way to traverse planets FAR faster than just sprinting or boosting.

Done by tapping melee (R1/RB) and half-a-second later hitting jump/boost, feathering the latter means you can cover huge distances very fast.

Interestingly (or perhaps, because of a glitch), different races seem to take off and propel themselves forward at different speeds. I've found the Gek can positively bolt off the ground and through the sky, whereas the standard Anomaly occasionally has to overcome what feels like an invisible wall.
