Hard disagree. For no other reason that it's impossibly difficult to find/sort missions by proximity. You got one blue blip on the map or hud, maybe a white blip if it's not active, but no options to make it active or to even find the mission in your mission list.
Not to mention, all travel is menu based. In space when you target a planet as your next destination, all it does is bring up the menu to fast travel to a location on that planet instead of... giving you the option to fly there yourself at warp speed.
Sure, you could do it one planet at a time instead of skipping systems... but it's all the same experience You never truly experience the part of exploration involved in experiencing the space between origin and destination. So it might as well all just be exploration by menu, even if you pretend you aren't.
