It's pretty decent if you liked Bethesda's other AAA games. I was actually surprised that there was even some amount of spaceship piloting at all - I just assumed it would be 100% fast travel.
However, the game runs like dogshit - even on my decently mid-range system, it takes 15-30 seconds of loading between menus, and I swear I spent half the time I played waiting for the game to load. I assume that this is meant to take advantage of the Xbox and PS5's faster memory and DirectStorage, but on PC it's borderline unplayable
That seems pretty crazy, I wonder what the variance is. I have a 5800x3D on a B550 with an M.2 NVMe and the longest loading screen in game I've had is hardly 3 seconds. The actual longest loading screen is just the startup with the Starfield menu at maybe 5 to 8.
Yeah my experience is the same, I rarely mind all the loading screens since most places load almost instantly. And if you grab jump and stuff from the cockpit it does cut scenes for the loading screen kinda like mass effect.
Do you have it on an SSD?
not the guy, but I have mine on a Sata SSD and I don't think my loading times are the same as his, so I'd expect either slow CPU or on a Hard Drive (going against the minimum requirements that the game should be played on a SSD)
