I doubt it, the main issue with Starfield is that everything is hidden behind a bunch of UI and you can't get further than ten feet without another loading screen.

It's a space game where the spaceship doesn't matter, since you can only fly it in small skyboxes and it essentially gets used as a fast travel hub. They took all the most interesting aspects of Elite or SC and removed the parts that made it fun. Yeah I can land on a planet, but it was just a loading screen. Now I can explore, but only for a bit before I have to walk back to my ship. No ground vehicles or anything to speak of.

They shouldn't have even bothered, because they couldn't actually commit to it.
