maybe we should just wait and see what the devs make of it?
have a little confidence!

Well, right now it compares to Eve in that Eve is a finished product (well, more or less) and Vendetta is not. Vendetta is more like a playable Beta.
But by comparison to Eve, I suspect Eve will have a more detailed factional system (but maybe not, I don't know what exactly the devs have planned) and will be alot more RPGish (but maybe not, again I'm just guessing here) especially during combat, where as Vendetta already is much more of a true space sim in the tradition of X-Wing, Descent: Freespace, or Wing Commander and will be a little more like a first person shooter - or rather more like an RPG in which combat is more like a FPS.
That said you can't really say what Vendetta will be like in a year or two. We know that there are all sorts of huge additions and changes planned - dynamic economy, scripted AI, factions, etc. etc. All the things that you like about EVE.
And its worth pointing out that not everyone agrees that EVE is 'outstandingly good'. Some people I've talked to describe it as a 'really beautiful mining simulation'. Others have said that the game play gets pretty redundant after just a few days. So its quite likely that even though alot of production value went into EVE that Vendetta just might appeal to some people more than EVE does, especially if Vendetta ever has an equivalent ammount of production time poured into it.
Another way that Vendetta has EVE beat, is that Vendetta is in simulateous development for Windows, Mac, and Linux based systems, which doesn't matter to me much, but it is good news for those poor Mac people.

eve...is turn based...this is not...
also...eve blows...vendetta rocks :)
but like said...this is just a test...not a game
this test is free...eve is not...
The number 1 reason:
StarFreeze plays this game and loves it. So you should too. :P
StarFreeze didn't make a forum, a bank, and the soon to come "Vendetta Ice" just to look pretty, they are for us Vendettians(us vendetta playing ppl who love vendetta too much or just a little).
I would pay 15 bucks for vendetta a month right now at this stage, I would not for eve.

Celebrim had an excellent rundown of the reasons.

heres my opinion.
Eve-online = Point and click
Vendetta = Space flight simulator with joysick.
Also there is no player skills in eve.

I find the major difference in the two atm is the combat...I mean come on Vendetta's combat sims ROCK...where as eve is just boring imo
ive been playing eve latly and realized how much it over casts vendetta the economy and the features are so diverse and outstandlng good i just wanna know what are use gonna do to make this game over tower it ??
Well from what i can see,... it's free for now :D
We listen to input on any topic, but yes, we do have an existing direction. As I wrote in the FAQ:
"Is the design of the game finalized?
There is a large and detailed game design document that defines most of the final Vendetta product. However, with any organic creation, a certain amount of leeway must be permitted as designs evolve through playtesting and are polished with user input. Our direction is well defined, but the specifics of our destination are not cast in stone. "
This is pretty much true of everything. We're always interested in suggestions, that's why we have a suggestions base. But we may not always agree with what you suggest.
