Traveling To Different Planets
So travelling to different planets has already been confirmed. But how do you think it's going to happen?
Are we going to select a planet we wish to go to and then there's a cut-scene and then we're there?
Or are we actually going to be able to get in our spaceships and steer our way all the way to the planet (which would be awesome)?
I definitely like the second option more. But I could see how it could get a little boring after a while. So maybe have an option to do both? Like, you get into your spaceship and then it asks if you want to fast travel or free steer or something.
What do you think?

I think space travel will be a combination of player controlled/cut scene for Destiny 1 and 1.5. I think the transition to Nextgen will bring a fully featured spacefaring aspect to the game(although who knows if the NextGen bump will be for #1.5 or #2). Why I think it will be featured: They have already released several pieces of information referencing hangers being central locations of player interaction, unique ship classes, customizable ships, etc. Why I think it will be gimped: I'm not sure the Xbox360 would be able to handle a game of that magnitude unless Bungie decided to dedicate 10jillion servers to the task of processing the game to assist with load-times, etc. Having a meaningful space component would be a tough thing to include for a studio who has to make a grand scale, single world game which is completely outside of their knowledge base (with all new dev tools).
