Missed opportunity (lemmy.world)

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.

Those sound fun.

Yeah the game engine definitely holds back from showing the player what it can really do. I've seen glitched first-person ship takeoffs and they were beautiful. I don't really think it would be that hard to let us have a cockpit view taking off from the planet surface all the way into space. Just make some mist or something obscure the transition/loading of space.

This happened to me when I jumped into a pirate ship and they took off, watching the world shrink away through the window was so cool but to get back I had to fast travel haha
