Action-wise, it's a completely different game to Eve.

Eve plays like an RPG, executive control. You tell your ship where to go, who to attack and it does that automatically while you manage other modules. And, obviously, it's an exclusively third person view.

Elite is direct control- dog fighting with your finger on the trigger. There's still a lot to manage- heat levels, power distribution, optimising speed and turn rate, but it's much more immediate. First person view only, with the rationale being that a third-person view would be immersion-breaking.
