Does it have transition animations or is it actually smooth? Asking from Elite Dangerous where the transition sequences feel pretty immersove to me. Each solar system is an instance with a wormhole jump between. Sublight and FTL have a charge/dropout sequence. The worst is switching between ship/rover/foot where the screen goes black and you hear footsteps. So what does SC do?
Smooth as heck, flying from space to planet surface. There is quantum travel between distant objects but it's not there to hide anything, you can very quickly travel from a planet to its moons for example (seconds)
So Star Citizen actually does No Man's Sky travel, but better? Interesting.
Yeah, it's being reworked slightly atm so the animations will be much cooler but the concept is essentially identical
