Devs, you need to change the way you request a ship to a station. I'm 200ly away from a station and I'm going to wait 30 minutes in REAL LIFE. What the hell is this? You're kidding. Who plays at night after work and still has to wait all that time? This is already discouraging and I'll soon log off the game and go play something else. You could change the time for ship transport to a station to be shorter.
Faster Transportation Time From One Station to Another

There are loads of threads discussing this, tbh I've come to accept, meditate and jump into the cockpit of my Jumpaconda, Mandy and do this in 3 jumps!
Some CMDRs even prefer an ice coffee, lie on the hammock and take a 6 jumps APEX Limousine.

Because some people think "immersion" and "realism" is a substitute for playing the game and those people voted on it early in the game's development.
tbf, this is a manifestation of Frontier expectation vs reality. When I voted for delays I thought we'd get a simulation of actual travels times of the ship's capabilities or some kind of simulated transport situation with hubs and megaships. Not an absolute mvp of an arbitrary timer for everything. I think most of us thought that way about Frontier then. They have since disabused me of that notion with their quality of gameplay.
It has been like that for the 8(?) years since the players voted out FDevs proposal of instant transfers at I think a higher cost.
Personally if I have a long transfer to do I schedule it to happen while I am out of the game, otherwise I just do something else while the transfer happens.
It would be nice if transfers happened at the speed ships could do it if flown but I suspect that having different times depending on what ship could be an issue, with players if not with the coding, and if they just used the time for the slowest ship players would complain (as usual). Plus how quickly should modules move?
