No it doesn’t matter if the payload is full or not. If they succeed in full reuse, flying on a mostly empty Starship will be ten times cheaper than flying on an F9 and that means everything will switch eventually.

If a jumbo jet was ten times more efficient than a smaller plane, they would go everywhere. If a giant pickup truck got a 100MPG, why would you take a 30MPG economy sedan anywhere?
