We could form a Kiwike coalition or something and then give up after two weeks.
Speaking of Planetside...
But in all seriousness, I'm only interested in Star Citizen because it's made by the guy who did the Wing Commander series. Looks like your average Eve Online ripoff, with a little less graphing paper and more shooting things.
And, no subscription fee (My main turnoff for EVE Online).

That can depend on where you look at it from. For example, Star Citizen is absolutely an MMO-style (whether or not it could be considered a full fledged MMO is up for debate) Space Sim with a single, persistent world which the individual player can make a difference. However,
many of the gameplay elements are very different. For example, Star Citizen is designed from the ground up to be immersive to a level that not EVE Online, nor any other game that I can think of could ever hope to achieve, and that's probably the most notable difference. In EVE Online, you are playing as an "immortal" entity in a universe who controls things from afar, where as in Star Citizen, you will be playing as an actual person in a world doing things that the actual person would do.
That is by no means the only difference between the two games; there is a plethora of other differences that make them have a totally seperate feel and style in other ways, but it is one example of how the games are different, despite some of their apparent similarities. One thing's for sure, it is not an EVE Online clone.
Of course this is all speculative based on what I have been told by the Star Citizen community and the developers of the game (Chris Roberts, etc...), but I have seen enough evidence to firmly believe everything I have said is true.
