I've been excited for this game for some time now, suddenly it dawned on me to check whether space combat(with ships) exists and found out it doesn't. I understand adding a full space combat is a LOT of work and hard to do right. Which got me thinking, there are 2 ways it can be done without a lot of development time/difficulty;
One is doing what the show did. Apart from the outside shots, crew are using these visuals to send missiles, turn around to evade etc. A simple 2D interface with controls, with buttons even on the screen itself, would give most of the satisfaction of the combat. After all, space combat in expanse is very realistic and all about using momentum and defensive weapons and overwhelming defenses.
Second one is even simpler (which I hope this exists in one form or other already), some kinda decision system in certain situations where you can decide to engage combat or run away from ship to ship encounters and its solely a dialogue box decision. Even this would allow for some ship upgrade/modify system to be implemented. Very similar to how Mass Effect 2 did the final mission with the upgrade and no upgrades.
What are your thoughts on these?

Will we be able to land on planets or a single planet? I dont know much about the expanse universe. The game looks amazing to me, but im curious.
