There’s no flying in atmosphere at all. To do what the parent commenter says would require going back to orbit (loading screen) then choosing a spot on the planet to land (another loading screen). When you land like that on planet, it generates an instance for you that is procedurally generated, but won’t contain any of your mission markers. (I haven’t actually tried that part, but I’ve seen others talk about it.)

The game is basically areas, separated by loading screens. You get in your ship, that’s a loading screen, you fly to orbit, another loading screen. Then in orbit if you want to go to another planet, you set course and do another loading screen. Once there, you choose a spot and land for another loading screen. There is flying in space, but it’s limited to small instances with some other ships, and POIs. Your ship’s speed is very slow, and as far as I’ve been able to tell you cannot walk around your ship while it’s in flight (this may be a limitation of the controller controls, I saw a streamer stand up in flight, but I don’t know if that was a bug or not. There’s no binding to stand up when you are in flight on controller.) I just wasn’t holding B long enough, you can stand up when you are in space, you just have to hold the normal binding for longer than I expected.

All that being said, I’m still enjoying the game. But I went in with low expectations.

Mass Effect 1 has the Mako though. In Starfield, as far as I know there are no ground vehicles at all. So it’s just a lot of running.

Personally, I’m finding all of these complaining posts to be far more irritating.

But the constant criticism of these new users posting in this community makes for a pretty unwelcoming community. If we want Linux’s market share to grow and become more relevant to the average user, and we really should, then we need to be a welcoming community that encourages new users. Not a community that is hostile to new users. The good news is that it seems the majority of users here aren’t complaining. But the complaint posts have been increasing it seems, and I’d personally like to see that stop.

Instead of complaining, if you don’t like a post downvote and move on.

I don’t know what that is, but it feels to me like it might be a fork bomb.

Edit: Yep, fork bomb.

Right, someone else does it too, so that obviously makes it OK right?

AFAIK it ends up on the ground, and in the ground water. Which means that it could contaminate drinking water if it’s not treated properly. It will enter rivers and lakes, and snow and everywhere else that water gets.

That user may be using Sync, which last time I checked only supports the reddit style spoilers.

I’ve never heard of that type of action occurring anywhere else.

There were a couple of high profile cases in Canada a while back.
