I'm absolutely sure chucklefish knows about this glitch as todays patch attempted to fix it but...
If you're sitting or sleeping when you're supposed to be warped to a level, it warps to the position of your chair.
This used to be pretty easy since you could just sit down in the captain's chair and load a mission, but that has been fixed. It just warps you back instantly.
On the other hand it doesn't warp you if you first quit back to the character selection screen then sit down.
As far as I've found, this isn't super useful except for the floran mission where it warps you right near the boss. (The only other mission where it doesnt spawn you OoB is the hylotl mission, but I don't think it's faster.)
I'll get a video soon, if coordinates are figured out, it could be possible to just warp right to the end of each mission, though I can't see this being discovered before this gets patched out.
To do this glitch, you need to place a chair as far to the left of SAIL as possible while still being able to interact with both. You interact with SAIL first then while SAIL is active you interact with the chair. This will spawn you in the water section of the Floran mission. If the chair is not all the way to the left you will spawn in some rocks and be unable to move.
