If I was in the beta I couldn't tell you because there's an NDA.

I've _heard_ that it's not boxer friendly, no follow command for example, and the in space interface needs mouse work for optimal use.

The fact that it's an MMO with all the basic features shouldn't be an item of issue. I don't see people complaining that WoW has tanks/DPS/support.

As to movement if you think back to the movies all the space combat scenes are pretty slow (e.g. Wrath of Khan), the ships are big, slow, and meant to evoke a naval feel (torpedoes anyone?), whereas star wars evokes an air combat feel.

Having played EVE a _lot_ I think that STO will rain on EVE's parade from a great height. At the very least it will give EVE some serious competition and get those EVE dev's to up their lazy ass game.
