Just played 4 hours. Not saying whether the game is good or bad, but I'm not seeing the point of the spaceship yet.

It's looks like merely a medium for the fast traveling mechanic. You can't really "move" in space (as far as ive tried), and can't use it to fly within a planet.

I expected being able to manually travel from planet A to planet B and finding cool stuff along the way. If you wanna actually move you need to fast travel.

I also expected to be able to get in my ship and go from place A to place B within the same planet (also finding cool stuff along the way). It seems that also is just done by fast traveling only.

This is the exact thing that I expected them to implement, and the dealbreaker for me.
