I do wish there was a bit of autopilot to how the ship works.
If I am on my ship on a planet, I would like to be able to pick a destination and have my ship just take me there.
It's not the fast travel itself that is the problem, it's just all the damn steps that are involved with it. You want to go to a space station, but you can't just fast travel there. You have to travel to your ship, then you have to travel into orbit, then you have to the destination planet's orbit, and then you can land.
And often, traveling to your destination's landing site isn't enough, with several key points being a good hike away on foot with no ground transport available to help speed things along. We can use ships to travel between star systems, but asking to put an ATV on board is just too much.
Even if they kept all of the travel steps, just keeping the ship instance loaded while it automatically travels to our final stop would be a huge QoL boon.
