Different ships have different maneuverability.  The ship you fly in
the demo is among the more responsive.

Hmm -- generally the larger the ship, the longer the death sequence.
Fighters and bombers can explode almost immediately.  It depends on
how much damage they took beyond that needed to kill them.
