The Starfield Direct appears to confirm that takeoff and landing during space flight takes place during cutscenes.
During the lengthy look at Starfield, we got to see a lot more of the space-faring RPG, including a closer look at piloting the ship. One of the aspects of space flight many have been speculating on is whether or not we'll be in direct control when taking off and landing, or if it will take place during cutscenes. As we saw first-hand during the gameplay footage, it appears to be the latter, with cutscenes showing off a cutscene when the ship takes off and lands.
