How much space combat in Destiny?

As most of you probably have seen from the concept artwork, there are spaceships in Destiny, at least in the background or in cut-scenes. This, combined with the fun space-combat-"experiment" in Halo:reach, combined with Bungie employers playing Artemis bridge commander during lunch breaks, plus Bungie tweeting about a kerbal space program livestream, makes me believe really, really strongly that Destiny has space combat. Am I too easily giving in to my own conspiracy theory, or does it sound plausible? And, if plausible, how big do you guys think the space combat focus will be?

  • FF to about 3:15. Interviewer: We see some new players dropping into the battle from their ships. And I know that the players can have their own ships, and collect them, like mounts in roll playing games. But can they actually fly them in the full game? Chris Butcher (Bungie): So, in Destiny, we travel all over the solar system. We travel from Earth to the lost golden age colonies on Mars and Venus and other different places, and you're traveling in your personal spaceship. But the game is about the first person shooter element. It's not a space combat simulator, I'm sorry to say.
