It is different than taking an elevator. I have to run all the way across the station to the shuttle and back when I leave. It's just an unnecessary step. Games are for fun and running back and forth for that extra step is not fun.

Excuse me. Not every single planet but most seem to have them. They are still a useless extra step.

Is anybody else put out by these orbital stations we have to go through on each planet? I mean really it's just an extra step that needs to go. I have a ship and I should be able to land on the planet.
