    It is space, and you can dock in stations, but you never leave your ship.  So take a good look at your avatar during creation, because it's the only close up look that you'll see of it.

    Unless there's a way to view it closer again, but I haven't found it.

    And I don't think it detracts from the experience, I want to like this game, and I think that I'm coming around to it.

    It's not quite a MMORPG version of Elite - which is a shame - but it's pretty close.
    The planets are more for display i think :-)

    Yes...

    But in the future it will be meteor storms and thinks like that so CCP is working to get a new more beautiful space to travel in :) And thats good for right now i think that all systems looks the same. Well not the colours...

    Comming sometime in Q3 will be a major game patch, named Shiva.  This patch, will not bring in an out-of-ship element, but will introduce more interaction with the physical environment through the building of player created bases; using a system we are all likely familiar to from all RTS games.  Control tower / energy gatherers / production / defence / etc.. type buildings will allow further expansion of corporations and alliances into the periphery of Eve.  The interaction with the physical environment will come in two ways, one will be that the bases will in some way provide control over territory in Eve, the other other is that these bases, set up at moons, will in some way gather income from the moon; different moons are said to gather different resources (some not mineral in nature and thus produced by people).  I know this in no way represents out-of-ship activity, but if you see my meaning it does represent a further immersion in the physical environment. 

    there seems to be no intent at the moment to move towards out-of-ship game elements, but i is a matter that is raised alot.  i would love to see a 3d station environment, or a Descent 1 like mining / combat element, or a FPS like element on planets or a ...... but im not gona hold my breath.

    I know CCP has said that in the future, planets will play a much larger role in the EVE Universe. I know that you will be able to fly around on the planet because some screenshots were leaked a while back that showe an executioner and an ibis flying around on two different planets. I'm not sure if you will be able to dock at stations on the planets. Right now CCP hasn't really revealed much about the future of planets in EVE.

    The Executioner and ibis screens are fake. In time you will be able to 'claim' moons, (planets later?) by building stations in its orbit, and you will get free ore image

    I would not count on Shiva coming out in Q3 of 2004, but 'might' be possible that it will be ready in Q3 of 2005.  CCP constantly is saying things will be in Shiva to keep players in the game, but what they propose to put into Shiva is quite extensive.  Player Owned Stations was supposed to be out a year ago yet it is still being pushed as a feature of Shiva instead.

    Player owned stations have been out for a very long time now.

    Quote from Eve website.

    "The next major release of EVE Online, codenamed Shiva, will bring to EVE even further improvements and content that Castor did. With the introduction of player owned structures, EVE will be come a game of true territorial conquest, even more so than the introduction of Player Conquerable Stations. "

    Nope, they are real. One of the devs posted those images on the forums several months after they were leaked, and they are hosted on the official eve online site. He also said that they are real screenshots. Everyone thought that they were fake when they were first leaked, but they turned out to be real.

    Player owned stations are in the game but what is released in Shiva are outposts that you can actually physically place.  Can you do that now with current stations?  I was under the belief you could only take ones that are already there.

    Shiva allows you to establish your own around a moon and then upgrade it with different modules...you can then expand and have more than one.

    POS - Player Owned Stations are different that Conquerable Stations that are in Eve right now.
