Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose because 'when the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there' but 'they certainly weren't bored' (www.pcgamer.com)

I told my buddy the other day that it was Bethesda Menu Simulator 2023, and I wasn't wrong. I was working on my outpost, so I'd place some stuff, go to star map, select the planet with the material, pick a landing spot, land, get up, mine ore for 5 minutes, fast travel to ship, repeat 2-3 more planets, choose the outpost, land, place some more stuff. Then repeat.

    You could skip fast traveling to your ship, or do any of the plethera of quests instead of what you're doing

    Or, and I know this is a crazy idea, Bethesda could have made a game that has enough content to fill the space (pun intended) they created. Yes. I can run back to my ship through the mined out area I just cleared just to prove a point that the game is as flawless as you'd like to believe. Or, I can offer one fair critique of the game.

    I'm looking forward to what modders do with the canvas Bethesda has provided.

    Nah I mean you can just fast travel off the planet without first having to fast travel back to your ship, a few less loading screens and menu interactions right there.

    Honestly, I didn't even think to just go to another planet without stopping by my ship first. That's somehow... worse? I thought it was super weird when I realized I could do it from the outpost without a ship nearby, but hadn't thought to just fast travel everywhere all the time.
