Patents be damned, I use that in KSP from time to time. Can I claim prior art? If you're on a level orbit and you fly off to the moon, adjusting with a tiny bit of inclination so that instead of nearing the moon on the same plane but from above, you're suddenly in a highly inclined orbit on your way back. You can also use this to slow down/speed up depending on which side you approach.
