Comment on Is it just me or is Starfield kinda meh?
LordXenu@artemis.camp 9 months agoI have to be honest, If I could fly my ship right over a hideout and just shred it with turrets I would. The game just a bit to combat focused to have ships in the mix unless anti-air was a thing.

That really only makes this world even weirder. Why AREN’T these ships just glassing planets?!

I wish I could fly my ship around to scan stuff. A rover(horse) would be nice!?!

There’s a lore note that says ships larger than 80 meters can’t land on planets at all. I’d assume the war may also have made weapons a bit of a no-no.
Although when the pirates attack first thing they also land completely. They could have stayed in the air and taken all us miners out.
There gotta be a lore reason for it, but the real reason is ships are OP and this isn’t Star Wars. Realistically, what is a group of Ecliptic mercs going to do against my tricked out ship? Energy and ballistic missiles? So then they just have those all the time regardless of whether I’m in a ship or not… balance just doesnt stay consistent that way.
Like, I agree, I want and it would be fun to fly out ship suborbit. I also understand why we don’t have it as an option.
