Can I not even control my ship's takeoff?!

How did they think this was acceptable?

That's why I use mods to disable fast travel. Although, I've yet to find a mod to disable fast traveling to planets. If I can't find one, I might see if I can create it myself.

No need to go to all that effort. Just point your star ship at the blue icon and come back in 12 years. LOL... You might get there by then.

Well I mean I know you're joking, but there is a mod that enables supercruise so you can fly to planets directly lol Astrogate: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/9363

WHY??? The game is not a space light sim. If you want that there are other games.

I'm just saying for people that want that. I'm fine with the game as is.

Easy, it's an RPG, not a flight sim.

Its more a looter shooter since the game has no dialogue consequences that change the story. Neither a RPG or a flight-sim that's why so few play it.

Lots of dialog change the story. Not in incredibly meaningful ways, but it does have many effects...

examples:
choices the constellation team like eventually lead to romance and team member quests open up. Choices they don't like lock them out.
walters ship is radically different depending on your actions in that quest.
which member of constellation meets the hunter depends on a choice
you can avoid the last fights by talking the 2 starborn into a different, peaceful ending
amelia is tied to choices
there are different paths for the colony ship based off your choices
and those are just a few.

Wooooooow you are late... this was made apparent before Starfield was even released.

Yeah, it's not a space sim. You can use mods to make it more immersive though. Personally I use these:
More Immersive Takeoffs and Landing - Basically makes it so that you are restricted to cockpit view when landing and taking off instead of throwing you into a 3rd person cutscene: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/2835

More visualized docking - Again basically helps with the immersion, except this time for docking : https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/4679

Always land on planets - Kind of essential for the more immersive takeoff and landing mod above. Makes it so that you don't just teleport in front of your ship when you visit previous locations. https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/4676

More dramatic grav jumps - Makes grav jumps look even more impressive from the cockpit : https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/2413

Optional:
Immersive Landing Ramps - Lets you remotely control your ships landing ramp. Now you have to manually open and close it when you land. Useful for keeping critters or thieves out of your cargo bay. Again purely immersive : https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/9363

Astrogate - Oh man... this is optional, but you'd be silly not to have it. Basically it adds supercruise (ala Elite Dangerous) so no more cutscenes from planet to planet. You can now travel to them manually. It even comes with autopilot, enabling you to get up from the pilots seat to poop or something. Lastly, it comes with a remote control device to tell your ship to take off or land when on the ground. Useful for calling your ship to you if you're like me and refuse to fast travel anywhere - https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/8093

There likely won't ever be a mod that lets you manually land, but at least with these mods above you can increase your immersion and even have additional control over your starship.

Dude, thank you, you are a life saver. I've been trying to find a mod that will always play the landing animation I really appreciate it!

Now you see how xD Some people would just take Todds canned poop any day of the week and tell themselves happiness is a choice and you are a troll xD

So does mass effect suck or the outer world's is canned poop. I know you're not going to respond to this because it would destroy your argument. It's a space rpg not a space sim.

OP looks to have purchased this game recently but apparently also didn't look into any reviews ahead of time for a game with less-than-stellar rating.

How could you tell it's profile is private?

No problem!! Kudos to the mod author! It's a surprisingly popular mod too. Pairs well with the immersive landing and takeoffs!

Minig asteroids is so dumb in this game, dude just accept that maybe for you its enough, but most of us just feels cheated.

We aint trolls like you liike to think ;p we are disappointed fans. Its ok if you find the game satisfying, but to most of us its the lie of the century ;/

Where did I call you a troll? lol I'm just saying that Starfield has more flight depth than people give it credit for. Is it on par with Elite Dangerous? Absolutely not, but it's not trying to be Elite Dangerous. I'd say the flight mechanics aren't any different than something like Freelancer and many other space combat trading games, but with the advantage of also being an RPG. Yet, Freelancer is often hailed as the greatest space combat trading game of all time. I don't see why anyone would feel cheated from Starfield.

I once watched Todd Howard give a lecture on game dev, in that lecture he siad 'we give ppl the horse but we wont put inventory on it because it would make it too significant, horse is just an addon and players will understand this'.

I think its something that went sideways in Starfield cause spaceship is the central thing of the game and its significant and they just went all wrong on it. I think he knows it tho he cant admit it officially cause it would be a PR disaster. I think its time you tired to understand that too.

It's in a unique genre of its own, therefore cannot be compared to another game.
