Navigating the galaxy map is like getting your teeth drilled

I don't mind it, its not like every single seconds counts in games like these. Take your time and enjoy the space scenery, don't rush so hard.

I quite enjoy them myself, though they could speed them up slightly, the pause at the very end of when you reach your destination is a bit annoying.

I'm trying to tell myself it's actually awesome because of the beautiful views, but truth is after so many repetitions I don't care about the views anymore. It takes so much time...

I don't mind it so much on a first playthrough, but the problem is that it will discourage subsequent playthroughs. Let's be honest though, there was a hell of a lot of this in the MET. One time I wanted to rush through ME3 to try to acquire a particular bonus power, and I was amazed by how many unskippable cutscenes there were - the combat was the fastest part. Bioware have always been like this, and there's no evidence they're going to do anything about it.

I just wish they'd been more imaginative in providing things to do when you arrive at a planet (without reverting to ME2 mining, of course). Every planet ought to have something to do, whether it's just building a mining station, or maybe sending down a strike team, and so on. And the bonuses for visiting planets ought to be better.

I like it, but I would like more if there were some performance improvements in some solar systems where the fps drop considerably for no aparent reason.

I really like it. I love all the hidden loading screens, they keep me immersed in the game. And the galaxy map is so beautiful. I was watching solar flares in one system on the background of the planet I was scanning. Amazing attention to detail. It's kind of a huge part of the whole explore space for me - enjoying the view!

But what is there to load if you're flying to a planet that has nothing on it?

What is the issue exactly? Removing it just puts in another loading screen regardless. Was watching the relays 3 games in a row reallly any better? At least this one has a scenery.

Pretty much.

Yes, the OT had those scenes every time you left a system, but they didn't have it every time you went from one planet to another in the same system. For some folks, I'd imagine that they sometimes just want to check out each planet in a system real quick to check for resources before going back to whatever quest they were on, but those traveling scenes take up time and it gets old really fast for some people. Ideally, what Bioware should have done was either make these scenes skippable or put in an option that disables them.

I see the point. Sure, that would speed things up. I was under the impression people wanted the thing removed entirely, not just removing it traveling plant to planet like the originals did.
