What’s weirder to me is how ships are oriented to a planet. Especially if they left atmosphere just a while ago. So they left the planet and then decided to orient the ship and align the vertical axis of the ship with the axis of the planet just for looks.
KSP taught me what orbits are and Star Trek taught me that they are just not that important
In fairness if you have basically unlimited thrust, maintaining a forced orbital position would be pretty cheap, you could hover as close as you want.
If KSP had an antimatter based engine, you'd get the same conclusion there too.
