So why have any combat at all?
It's just illogical, either the game IS about combat or it's not, they obviously chose for it to be about combat, I'm merely pointing out that about half of their gameplay loops would be improved by just taking the one final step that they refuse to do.
Sure if all I wanted was combat I'd play ME as well, it's my favorite game franchise, but that doesn't mean NMS can't or shouldn't have ground combat (cause it already does) or that it should be the focus (it shouldn't), but if they're going to make a game about boarding pirate ships then it should logically include some kind of gameplay surrounding that instead of casually strolling in the front door and requesting command.
I'm just asking for consistency, really. That's all.
