There is ship to ship combat of course. You can also fight on foot in space stations or wherever you encounter enemy players(I dont know how to make NPC's shoot, so workig on that)
The game mechanics, in general.
You explore the universe via your ship, and can colonize worlds to produce cash/resources/drones for you. You can attack other players colonies, from simple assaults to full seiges to try and take them over.
You can buy new ships, and there will be many many different equipments for the ships.
There is also engineering, a skill system allowing creation of different parts for ships, other technologies, even whole ships.
You land on capital planets and dock at starbases, and explore them on foot, visiting shops, talking with people for missions and such, ect.
You can set up coorperations(guilds) to further either your own or your Factions interest.
There will be a level of player government set up(still working out this)
And more.
Here is a pic of the current menu in progress working.

The coords section is blank because planets dont have coords, coords are used for hyperspace jumps, and you cant jump directly to a planet.
(I noticed it cut off the right edge of the pic for some reason, but on the bottom right its telling me what I got from my planet after hitting the production button)
