Were there ever shortcuts that didn't require taking off from the home planet and landing on a second one?
I feel like in my time, I discovered a series of shortcuts. They still didn't make things fun to repeat to finally figure out what exactly you were supposed to gain from an area.
No, there's never any shortcuts that doesn't require you to fly to the other planets...
There is autopilot, so you don't have to fly completely manually. But you will still have to take off and land yourself. And wait while autopilot flies to the destination.
For me, this bit became complete muscle memory, and a bit of time to reflect and contemplate what I had learned. Almost a bit meditative.
But yeah... If it only ever felt annoying and cumbersome to you, then I can certainly see why the game wouldn't be enjoyable.
The autopilot does not work. On multiple occasions it caused me to crash directly into a drifting object, or veered well out of its way to dive into the sun.
Yeah, it's lacking an avoidance system, as Slate will also tell you, so just make sure there's nothing between you and your destination when you activate it.
