We should be able to play space invaders in the loading screen or use them like in the first kingdom hearts! This is next Generation for Christ sake
Edit 2: I am aware ships have literal points. I mean that they have no meaningful purpose. Now ples, stahp with teh joeks, m9.
Edit:
Alright, It seems that I have caused a massive shit-storm here. I've heard many of the community's ideas and input (I greatly appreciate it) and I have given some of my own. Please, before you post, read some of the comments.
I'm aware that you need a ship to go into outer space. I'm fine with aquiring the Arcadia Ship (Starter), But what gives you the drive to get OTHER ships? They all move the same, sound the same and they all do the same job. Unless we could customize our ship, like engravings on the side, custom paint, flame color and trail color, even interior design to play poker in the ship would all be awesome. But we see nothing at all like that in the game!
Now, To respond some of your questions,
"If ships are pointless, by your logic that makes armor, shaders and emblems pointless too?" and similar questions.
Okay, I can accept that as an answer for shaders, emblems and things like that, but you're telling me that your okay with the role that a starship, your own starship that your "legend" is in does nothing else but take you from point a to b? You don't want space battles? Exploration of the reef? Even an ambush by the hive ton ship where you're captured and you have to break out and barely make it out alive when the ship explodes? Are you really okay with ships only being in the role of loading screens? It would be nice. But right now, ships are just awful and I just don't even see the reason why they shouldn't remove the option to customize them. They take up a slot in your characters armor and equipment screen! It is important if it's there. But alas, ooh loading screen hyperspace shot I've seen so many times already. Why not just have everybody have the same ship, it would change NOTHING. I just want Bungie to be aware of the possible things they can do. All sorts of scenarios. But right now, I don't see them with passion or drive. It baffles me.
"It sure beats a basic loading screen?"
You all are seriously fine with that? I'd much rather prefer a slide show of images in context with the ghosts lines. I'd much rather prefer a cutscene of different angles of our guardian in the ship with different reactions to the task at hand, like a gasp or a visible dread in the Sword of Crota mission. I'd much rather see something that would keep me interested in the text. Even a cutscene with your guardian walking from the tower hanger and into your ship while the ghost is describing the details to you and your guardian is nodding his/her head while they go out in the horizon is MILES more interesting than the typical hyperspace shot. Not only does it show off your guardian, you can see all of the vistas of The tower. Bungie, show off your set pieces in cinematic fashion as well! But involve the player in it as well, make us want to be interested in it! You play Destiny to the end, about 6 to 8 hours. About 1 hour of that is loading screens. And even then, these missions don't tie together, your ship is always in the same position every ti me, they could've done so much to keep the interest of the player, but instead we get an average hyper space shot or orbiting shot and get fed with half assed exposition and the same scene over and over again. I want dynamic loading screens. That is what I'd prefer.
That is what I expect a triple A game made by Bungie. I'd like for a feature to be added that allows us to start in the Tower, or even in the PvP menu. That'd make things flow so much faster.
Also, I want all of you to remember that this can be done. Recall back to Halo: Reach. The mission in space. Imagine that, and more in Destiny. Imagine the exploration. Maybe you'd find a run down, abandoned ship. You'd explore it and find the Fallen scavenging it, and once you clear them out you get loot and possible side stories as a reward. Even PvP would benefit from this!
I know some of you are turned off by vehicle warfare, but really think about this! A battle front styled pvp or even like Battlefield! It sure as hell is so much more interesting than using fusion rifles all day.
Listen guys, I don't want you guys to think of me as an asshole. I really want to like this game, and it's true that ships aren't the only thing wrong in this game. I just want Bungie to be aware of the potential they have in their game. Not just ships, but many more things in the game! I just hope others see this the same way I do. We should be addressing Bungie, demanding a response about this game. It's not just about the ships, but the game. "What the hell happened my sci fi adventure game?"
We still have a window of opportunity. There can be hope for this game. The expansion packs, primarily the second one. If we keep asking the hard questions, if the community keeps grilling Bungie on their shortcomings, then maybe, JUST MAYBE, we'll get the game we all fell in love with in 2013.

BUNGIE has space combat in their game, you must have missed it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPgujWNatnI whoops! That was their other game release in 2010..... Maybe e can hope to buy it in a Destiny DLC huh?
-
They just look pretty..
-
There will most likely be space battles latter I read the arms and armourment and it points out every ship but the first one has defense arrays which are weapons and the book has more but most if it makes little to no sense
-
I just spent 8k on a new rare ship :( I want swag
-
Glorified loading screens. Ive never known a mmo/FPS/online title with so many loading screens. It takes you to a loading screen just to get into someones fireteam to talk to them ffs.
-
Yes and it fuks me off I got one as part of beating the raid....and it looks shite...
-
Would be cool for some future expac for sure. I think they're fine as pixel crack until the main game is a bit better balance and worked over
-
You mind is pointless
-
You should be able to go inside your ship. Kinda Mass Effect style. You know, unlock vendors, a display for your guns and armour, trophies from missions and bounties you've completed etc. As it is, they're just something to look at in the loading screens
-
Found a rare ship engram. Was so excited, turns out to be a rare ship n all, but it's just my old common ship, re colored.
-
That is why I call them Rare, Legendary, or Exotic Loading Screens. They ain't ships as that isn't their function. It's just eye candy while you connect to one server or another.
-
I'm sure it was planned, either for release, or as DLC. I hope the game still gets to that point. Seems like it's gonna dwindle away quietly.
-
Also this is something Bungie has denied forever. Theyve always thought about ship combat even in previous games like Halo Reach, ship combat in multiplayer, and theyve declined it.
-
But you know what would be really cool? Ever played Halo Reach? That game had one level where you had this awesome space combat. It was glorious! I wish this game would have taken that space combat mode. Heck, there could be races too because we got those speeder bikes.
-
My ship is very pointy
-
I am not convinced that we won't have space combat at some point. The ships have rocket pods and machine guns on them. Why design that if it will not eventually be used?
-
So are shaders what is your point?
-
Gloryfied loadscreens.
-
You could go play EVE.
-
They provide a nice loading screen image.
-
I wish that they would give ships different buffs for your guardian. The rarer ships have better buffs. Things like increased glimmer gain, increased materials gained, increased engram drop %. Things like that.
-
Motha -blam!-As always tryin ta ice skate on wheels.
-
They should make a spaceship race or something or have a death match using your spaceship
-
I like the ships but it would be much better if we could actually do something with them like fly them around space like in [i]Freelancer [/i]or a rail shooter like [i]Kingdom Hearts/Ratchet & Clank[/i], etc. Maybe actually have a garage space in the Tower where you can customise weapons, colours, armour or at least walk around the outside and inside of your ship before launching if you wish (ala KOTOR). Most of the ships have obvious weapons showing (The Fangs of Nyx even has rocket launchers) so I'm thinking Bungie either had a plan that didn't materialise or are going to incorporate these elements later. I for one can't wait for Bungie to incorporate a rail shooter and/or free roam space flight. The Reef is just begging for a fly through. In smaller terms It would also be cool if they could make it so that we could use the left stick to do some spins and turns with our ships during the loading screens. That'd be something fun to do, especially in a group.
-
If nothing else a ship should affect inventory size and maybe give you a way to call in a supply drop for ammo/other drops. Just an idea.

I have started saving blueprints in the vault. For some reason I feel a "Bring 10 ships blueprints" event coming on.
