This annoyed me. You can boost pack all the way from your New Atlantis penthouse balcony to the New Atlantis star port. Off a skyscraper, travel for miles. It’s fantastic - everyone should do it. Really gives a sense of the scale and capability of the world and game. It does that better than any actual quest or cutscene… bit of a missed opportunity if you ask me.
There’s actually a mission where you experience takeoff in first person with someone else driving the ship. It was super cool and made me wish there was an option to do this with grav driving as well
