No Man's Sky runs at a very stable 60fps, I personally know people who have wrangled it up to 120fps. I know they don't have the same underlying tech, but they're very similar in terms of gameplay (from what we've seen)

They're a wildly different level of detail though. The NMS physics engine is pretty simplistic, mostly effecting NPCs and a very few physics objects. Starfield is like other Bethesda games, tons of little items and junk that all have their own physics and interactions.
My guess is that gunplay in any version of "creation engine" is going to be janky as ...
30 FTS for this kind of game should not matter too much in world, but I agree that it's pretty disappointing. But I'm extremely skepticial about the whole release anyway.
FPS itself is not as important as consistent and low frametime.
If frametime graph is pretty much flat the stuttering would be low and overall experience is nice, but if it's janky one would like to drop the game or decrease quality settings pretty fast.

I don't know, Bethesda's games have always been iffy when it comes to FPS. Skyrim for example breaks if you mod it to have over 60 fps if I remember correctly. Even on Fallout 76 movement speed was kinda tied to the FPS so players looking at the ground (so that less things render thus increasing FPS) would run faster than others.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they cap it to 60 FPS on PC as well.
