Since FDev are busy with Odyssey (and some other projects I assume), it's pointless to post it in suggestions (for at least a decade now), so let's just pipedream here a bit:
Is that me or others find SC mindnumbingly automated and boring to death? I mean, they did pretty good job with planetary landings, even if they are technically slower, but even being experienced, you can still up glide every now and then. Plus it looks and feels quite cool, and doesn't get old. But that watching distance/timer for the 9000th time, seeing 6 secs and switching to blue, sitting there, feeling as your life sips from your palms like sand, while countdown continues, your hair getting gray and world starts to move in slow motion. This hurts a lot...
Let's be real, SC is heavily on-rails already, of course there's a trick for quick dropout with SCAM, which doesn't seem like being intended, as you often fall through the walls and solid objects, like stars (and watching this is quite immersive breaking plus personally I hate wasting precious slots for modules like these)... You can also speed up a little when near desttination, or slighty overshoot without it, but it really shaves like 0.5 secs of your slow and painful venture otherwise.
Would be really cool if we had at least some control over speeds, like blue zone being not 75 but 25, and at different timing stages, you could be able switch speed by 10 margin for faster drop out. Of course it would require precision, as you could occasionally screw up which leads to overshoot, but anything not to feel so boringly automatic would work. I mean, blue zone would stay as it is, and SCAM too, as with Glide, which is optional, and you could fly down old fashioned way.
Also during regular SC around gravity wells, mechanic where if you keep speed to maximum and are too close to the object, you risk falling from SC but can move quicker, otherwise switch to 75 (blue zone around gravity wells) and continue as you do now. SCAM would have it automated so no problem for people who like it being more hands free type, like right now.
Whaddya think?
P.S. Making extra thread for this feels silly, so in case anyone reads, I forgot to finish some stuff in Colonia, so if any taxi FCs moving in or out, I'd be glad to hop on. Would be extra cool if trip in and out is fast. Speaking of which, we really need FC service advertisement thread by now. And in case I missed it, are there resources that have some offers like these posted?
