Making it Easier (Destiny)

Currently I:

go into menu
navigate to options and select change
wait for a character choice screen to load
select character
wait for spaceship
select destination (probably where I already was)
travel back to where I was

How about having a dropdown on the settings tab. I pick character directly and skip a selection screen and all it's loading baggage.

How about if I'm in the Tower or in orbit then I just switch. I understand that there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes but, as a user, I don't care. To me, if I was in the Tower, it would be just like changing a shader.

Is all that messing around with choice screens and destination picking and traveling there to hide the time it takes to load data for an inactive character? If so I'd rather spend that time doing something other than performing, unnecessary UI work. I could have a wee or get a drink - real world stuff - read a post here.

Given the current state of play with switching characters (the need to put stuff in vault), I am already in the place I need to be to pick that stuff up.
