Hey Omkara, thanks for taking the time to speak up and add your voice to these issues; every voice that weighs in as a fresh set of eyes finding the same problems as others have found is further evidence that they are indeed issues and not just the complaints of one or two.
Please forgive Rag; many of us have been around and seen the same problem come up again and again, from nigh countless others, and sometimes we can forget that the people we're responding to may not have seen the multitude of similar voiced concerns that we have.
The unfortunate truth we're facing in these late days is that many of these issues are ones that members of the community have been writing about, often in depth and with care and thoughtful analysis, since very very earliest stages of the beta, and while Larian have change many things in that time, they've remained steadfastly silent, or even occasionally mocking of some of these complains. One common point is that Larian's design team seems to come from a position that finds the concept of immersion in space to be alien at best - they're not interested in it, and don't tend to think about it when they're creating. They've made comments about trying to respect immersion, here and there (I think), but their actions and commentaries during streams shows that hey genuinely don't really know what this means, and don't understand why reality-breaking cartoon gags and over-hammed flashiness are often harmful to it. They delight in these things, and look for every opportunity to squeeze them in. As such, other more subtle immersion-harming elements don't appear to be on their radar, as far as we can tell; they either don't understand the problem, or they don't think it's important enough to change.
We're only a month or two out from full release, the game is feature complete behind the scenes, and the odds of any substantial feature changes or design improvements are slim at this stage - and slimmer still that anything we say here may, at this late stage, have any further impact.
If you want to make sure your voice is heard, and you can spare the time and energy, I'd encourage you to submit your feedback to Larian's feedback form directly, in the hopes that every extra voice may matter. You can find the form
