If anyone discovers an exploit please post it here to help the community. I have discovered one:

Speedboost: When loading in a drone, as soon as the music starts but before the load screen goes away, fire the engines (press and hold left mouse button). This gives an incredible acceleration and will last until braking.

It seems that clicking before the music cuts in also work. I am currently unsure what the timeframe is for clicking. Map F6 (crater) loads in too fast for me to react to the music que, so i press earlier to get the boost.
