I love the game and even enjoy the travel cutscenes. I love watching my ship fly and jump. Gives a great sense of distance and scale. It is like a short reprieve, a time to take a deep breath before jumping into a 4.5 Skull mission. I don’t need the barrage of mission after mission back to back. I wish there was more to do during the time and I of course also think options are good. Make them skippable. I wager though they use them for a specific purpose like purging memory or loading assets or something like that. The UI can definitely be improved.
