Star Trek Almost Answered a Decades Long Borg Mystery (But the Genius Pitch Was Rejected)

Starfield’s Free Lanes Update and Terran Armada DLC Are Out Now

The biggest new feature in this free update is the addition of Free Lanes and Cruise Mode. Now, players can actually fly between planets within a star system, rather than just jumping from menu to menu.

This is a big improvement because one of the main complaints about the game since it launched has been how tedious it is to travel, and this update is designed to make those journeys feel much more engaging.
