Being in orbit is the most ridiculous waste of time. Please remove it entirely from the game. Start us in the Tower when we log on, add a room in the Tower that we can go into and select the mission we want to go to and have the ship leave from there. When you finish a mission, you go back to the Tower. The room can be as simple (ie the same menu as orbit), or as nice as you wanted (ie your own ship's command center). I'm not suggesting any less loading times either, just getting rid of that extra COMPLETELY USELESS step will be a vast improvement for players. Instead of doing Orbit -> Tower -> Orbit -> Mission -> Orbit -> Tower -> Orbit -> Mission -> Orbit -> Mission repeat ad infinitum, it will just be Tower -> Mission -> Tower... it would be a much cleaner system. Please For The Love Remove Orbit.
