Missed opportunity (self.starfield)

This annoyed me. You can boost pack all the way from your New Atlantis penthouse balcony to the New Atlantis star port. Off a skyscraper, travel for miles. It’s fantastic - everyone should do it. Really gives a sense of the scale and capability of the world and game. It does that better than any actual quest or cutscene… bit of a missed opportunity if you ask me.

Solution - jump from 1000m as your shop flies by - no retreat, complete the mission or die trying.

Sounds like it could be modded in. Have a "drop assault hab" to enable it. Hab has a couple of pods built in. Get in one, pick your landing target, and then activate and you get moved to the landing marker, plus 1000m. Make sure you're wearing all necessary survival gear (including pack) before you push the button.

That would be cool - especially if you could jump without a pack.. you’d only make that mistake once and it would definitely increase the immersion!

AND HE AIN'T GOING TO JUMP NO MORE!"
