Yes. (This post requires me to have 6 characters, so I have added this... statement.... that very much exceeds said 6 character requirement, so... yeah)
I've played it before, but however I didn't really enjoy it so I quit playing it. If you could exit your ship then I'd find the game quite a bit more appealing.
It is pretty awesome, the new planetary landings looks like it should be a lot of fun. Also flying with a flight stick and throttle is such a great way to feel like you actually pilot your ship.
