Walk to my ship, board it, walk to the cockpit, sit down, take off, grav-jump to the system I'm headed to, check the system map for anomalies/ships/space-stations I haven't visited, travel to the planet I want to land on, select a landing spot and then land.
Or I could just fast travel - but then I don't get to enjoy the ship I've spent hours of time, and millions of credits making.
I see the fast travel as a convenience feature - sometimes it's really handy, but if you fast travel
everywhere you're missing aspects of the game that I've really enjoyed (investing in your ship, finding interesting side-content in space) - I've done a bunch of kiosk missions (mostly space combat) simply because I wanted to earn some cash for a bigger cargo bay or a better weapon and it never felt like a chore because my ship is
awesome
I haven't seen that - are you on Steam? Can you do a '
Verify integrity of game files'?
