I'll put in another vote for Elite:Dangerous. I played Freelancer back in the day, though I never touched EVE. It feels like what Freelancer should have been, if it had the resources. They're going to be adding in landing on planets in the next expansion.
The visuals are awesome, and I like the realism (so to speak) For example: You have your normal engines, and thrusters, you have your Supercruise to get to move within start systems, and Frame Shift Drive to hop between systems. Without the supercruise, it'll take you weeks to cross a system. You're also affected by the gravity well of stars, planets, etc.
A friend and I are building up our ships, though he has far more time into it than I. It'll scratch the itch of grinding for money for better parts, as well as space combat.
Which of you folk are playing it?
