It’s not so much that the ship was kind of a gun than the gun was kind of a ship, and the cockpit a bullet. Infiltration was easy. Aim at target, adjust force for distance, turbulence, obstacles (walls, floors and ceilings mostly—bulkheads, decks, and deckheads mostly), fire yourself into whatever space your target is in.
Exfiltration was the tricky bit.
The trick to exfiltration is to take advantage of the fact that you have many choices. When you are infiltrating a ship, there is only one direction to go in: towards the specific point in the ship containing your objective. But when you just exfiltrate, why, you may go in any direction you please: absolutely any direction you might choose to go in will take you away from the ship, should you go far enough.
Converting this philosophical indifference into a concrete plan is rendered vastly easier if you brought high explosive blasting charges and don't mind leaving holes.
