I can partially see an X comparison to Eve, but X is still at its heart a HOTAS-controlled WWII-in-space dogfighter. Even in the most pitched cap-ship heavy battles, I'd still leave the AI to fly my destroyers and carriers and take out a Mamba.

NMS is to Eve as Star Wars is to 2001.

Geeks are technical/historic, nerds are comic books/fantasy.

You suggest EVE is outdated? Geez, it's probably one of the most beautiful modernized-updated space sims, maybe the best looking mmo in eye candy of all the mmo's out. Have you actually played it the past few years if at all? And not only does it look awesome, the game is over 10yrs of development with features and mechanics. NMS looks good, but there is no way it will have the sheer depth of EVE, even if it somehow match it's beauty ... which trailers say it doesn't, though different.

oh and btw, what you suggest with controls, that would kill EVE, make it unplayable. There are technical reasons EVE is the way it is, otherwise it wouldn't be a one shard mmo with 1000's of players in huge fleet battles (in same area).
