"We’re not making a space sim where you're flying through the stars" - Bungie
So apparently (from this statement, not 100% but pretty close), space flight is off the cards and will be restricted to just fast travel between planets. Although I had my doubts about this being in the game, this is kind of disappointing for quite a few people, and even me as I thought they did space combat quite well in Reach, and thought maybe there would be maybe a percentage chance (maybe %10) you would be attacked by some alien ships while fast travelling and have to defeat them before reaching your destination.
Are you guys disappointed by this? Thoughts?

I'm hoping that when Bungie doesn't give us one thing, they make up for it with everything else. As long as the game isn't entirely made out of physics-based cloth, I think we should expect a pretty big experience, even without space battles.
