Starfield ‘rage quit’ button explained

During the 45 minutes of Starfield‘s Direct presentation, players were able to see a tidbit of the ship’s cockpit just for a couple of seconds and those who were really paying attention noticed the ship has a rather uncommon feature—a literal rage quit button.
