I'm just throwing this out there for speculation. I don't really see how gas planets can be included in PI and/or Dust. There's nothing solid on a gas planet. How will Dust players run around without a surface to stand on? Will there be an entire different way of handling PI structures on a gas planet, or will they just float in the gas cloud?

Ever seen Star Wars? I guesss it will be something like Bespin... Cloud City...

Yes, you can have the structures floating in space like Bespin. But, if you use the same art assets to do that it's going to look a little weird. I hope CCP will put in the extra effort to have different models.
Also, I suppose you could have the Dust part be like playing a FPS with gravity turned off.
But, it feels kind of cheap on CCP's part to lump together rocky planets and gas giants into a single mechanism. The difference between them is huge and I think it would be better to exclude gas giants from this expansion and have something different for them in a later expansion.

AFAIK there are already different variables like gravity for every planet.. they just arent used atm. But for Dust, it would be pretty easy, since they can set the variable from their database.

I was on the test server a little while ago and they'd just added new command centers for each planet type, so there may well be some variation in the way each works.

Afaik PI does include nearly all planet types currently seen in New Eden - also gas planets..
New Eden:
Planet (Gas)23754
Planet (Ice)11251
Planet (Storm)8170
Planet (Barren)8113
Planet (Temperate)7284
Planet (Lava)6473
Planet (Oceanic)1256
Planet (Plasma)943
Planet (Shattered)9
At the moment the UI looks the same for all planets, except for the gizmo that comes up if you click at one of the PINs.. that is custom for each planet type.
If this later on also includes different stuff for us to look at when we can get a little bit closer - who knows.
