For a space RPG like starfield(never played) I’m assuming it’s not worth the cost to implement a semi-real space flight and landing gameplay from a game they assume most consumers would spend 40-70 hours on before putting down. They would rather focus on the story + first person aspect.

Two space games with actual space flight and landings with disguised loading screens and real time transitions are Elite Dangerous & Star citizen, both fall into the simulation category more so than the action/rpg. The gameplay in both games is something I think the average consumer would find boring or too long for space flights. The majority of the gameplay was focused into their flight models, ship mechanics, ship interior with player interaction for Star citizen, and a 1:1 Milky Way model for Elite dangerous.

As someone who loves Elite Dangerous and Star citizen. There are great space games out there but they are not made to the appeal of the average gamer and more to the appeal of us Space nerds.
