So imagine this situation... you log in after a day's work to be greeted by your type 7. That's all well and good but you feel like bounty hunting so you opt to ship in your vulture.
At this stage you either don't have to wait like the devs want or you do have to wait 5 maybe 10 minutes like some of the player base want.
I know which wait I would prefer. .. the one that doesn't eat 10% of today's gaming hour and a half.
You know who else has been waiting?
Your CMDR! He's been loitering around the starport for the last 22 hours. Drinking at the bar, watching the latest holo vid, sleeping in his bunk and eating questionable synth-hot dogs.
He then puts on his flight suit, warms up the power plant and jumps into his T 7 just in time for you too come online.
He then orders in his fighter and waits in his now running cargo ship, fully suited, for some Fed - ex guy to bring in his nice combat ship, doing nothing except for tapping his fingers on his throttle.
Wouldn't it have made a lot more fictional sence for your commander to have ordered in his vulture two hours ago while you were at work and he was on his bunk eating a synth-dog he's going to regret later?
It doesn't make sence that ships can instantly but it also doesn't make sence that a professional space pilot spends the whole day procrastinating his order that will take two button clicks only to end up waiting, stock still, in his ship.
Don't think of it as instant transfer, think of it as instant pickup on a order made offscreen earlier.
