This is something EvE should have done but story and ARK wise the material the ships in EvE are built on cannot go land planet side or they go boom. Because EvE lore. The fact being this is going to beat out EvE is insane and you know what it is this game is amazing even with its limited modules as now now its still great for something that is in alpha testing.
There are two reason why this won't beat out eve. First off you need a damn super computer to run star citizen while eve will practically run on a toaster. Second is that eve is single shard, and this mirrors reality and allows the players to build the complexity, while star citizen is instanced. Of course there is something about star citizen that kinda of reminds of a Jita scam.
Jita Scam:
For those you of that dont play eve, Almost every item you use in eve was produced by other players, the economy is nearly entirely player run (And very capitalist). Because of this all 5 market hubs grew up very much like modern cities have, somewhat logically, somewhat organically. The largest of these market hubs by far is a Solar system called jita. Now because of the sand box nature of this game, the developer has taken a very hands ff approach to what player are allowed to do, and this including everything from planting spies in enemy corporations, to suicide ganking, to scamming for isk. As a result of that, jita is a bit like a cruise ship port full of people trying to sell you on "Get rich quick" schemes, and seling you knock off rollexs.
The reason I explain that is because in a round about way that is what makes eve great, you are allowed to do what you wish as long as you follow a few basic rules like no halocaust/racist jokes/porn in local, and no threatening to murder people.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I actually only know of two people that ever got band. One was only for a few days because he had the title "Hard work will set you free" and the other lost his temper when a director betrayed the corp he worked to build from the ground up. He threatened to murder the dude.

Those are the kind of tears that go in the jar, right thur.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
