Trust in me, just in me... 
Well, it's not more than a push button. Nobody needs to climp down to the engine room, starting auxiliary engines, activate fuel and lub pumps...
Well, in a future version that wouldn't be too bad (engine room, auxiliary engines, etc, I mean). For example in Microsoft FlightSimulator on many aircrafts that you can fly there's some kind of checklist you need to follow in order to start your engines and that makes it more interesting (and realistic) to fly. I know that often ShipSim is compared to Microsoft FlightSim, but looking at how many copies FS sold through the years, I guess it could be a good inspiration under many points of view.
