I found that really annoying. Say what you like about SW Galaxies but at least you can control your ship fully! ... With polished graphics and a massive play area, why you wouldn't be allowed to take direct control is beyond me. Also, the fact you're always stuck on your spaceship is something I thought I'd accept if the rest of the gameplay was good... I just find so many annoying things in this game's design that I could go on for pages. And the interface is horrible.
It takes a lot for me to throw a game aside after just one day.
And, gameplay in WoW offers much more than slashing level 1 rabbits. And a heck of a lot more than games like this. Ok, two completely different games in terms of setting and all that but I have played hundreds of games across many different systems in the last 18 years and this game ranks very lowly on that list.
Heh, you couldn't possibly manually control your ships and still hope to perform in combat. With all the modules that need attention at the correct times and the juggling of capacitor power during combat would make controling the ship at the same time a bother.
Think of it Eve combat like modern naval combat, rather than twitch shooting in space ala Freelancer. It's all about combining the correct weapon and defence system and using them at right time, with the right tactics.
If you want dog fights in space then this isn't the game for you, the complexities of Eve space combat go much deeper than merely trying to get behind your enemy, put a little aiming reticule on them and pull a trigger. 
SWG? I've played that, *blush* the space combat is frankly terrible. It's got all the depth of a puddle of badger urine, and can't hold a candle to Eve.
WoW offers more than Eve? Now even the biggest WoW fanboy can't really say that with a straight face. Eve is the deepest MMO ever made. Indisputable fact. Too deep for you perhaps? What ever criticisms you throw at Eve you'd have to be one card short of a pack to say Eve isn't deep. Games don't come any deeper than Eve, and that is what puts many people off.
You're not the first to find it too hard, and you won't be last.
