Orbit and Tower are problematic (Destiny)

That's why The Tower should be the hub of all activity rather than just a place for certain utility tasks.

But what are all those activities? The ones that aren't utility tasks? Do you just mean selecting destinations?

I would like to have the option of picking missions and destinations from the companion app.

I know that not everybody has one but so what? Let them use in-game mechanisms if they don't have a smart phone or tablet or don't want to go to their PC. I'm not advocating removing in-game mechanisms.

If I have my tablet beside me I can:

• give or accept invitations
  
• press the NEXT button to get the next mission
  
• pick up messages without going to the tower
  
• decrypt items
  
• stick stuff in the vault
  
• set a destination

All that without going to orbit or travelling to tower.

The Tower might become a ghost town and that would be a pity. The game would lose something but is it worth the hassle and does the tower deserve to live if it has nothing innately interesting about it?
