very early game soft spoilers

I managed to play an hour or so of the game. The early part feels really boring. Disregard that I tried to fly my spaceship to Kreet for five minutes without realising that I had to press A and select it to land on it because I probably skipped some tutorial prompt. When I get to New Atlantis the game feels really lifeless. There are many interactable characters around with good voice acting but the combination of the atmosphere, the music, the way that conversations go, the generic chosen one plot, it feels really boring.

Does it get better?

Also my diplomat character cannot persuade for shit.

I have actually never played this game before. But I am 99% sure in this game you get into a spaceship and fly from one planet to another

I have. A lot. Here's how it works in NMS:

You get into the spaceship. Press button for liftoff - it causes the ship to "jump" above the ground. Now you're in flight. From there on you're pretty much free to fly about. You can technically even go to other planets in the current system this way, it would just take awhile. Want to land - go where you want to land, press land button. Either you'll land or get a message why not (flying too fast, area not clear). Want to go to another system - open galaxy map, select system, warp. Rinse and repeat. There's a hidden loading between planetary area and space, but on a good machine you won't notice the lag
