Short answer. No.
Longer answer. Doubt there ever will be.

I'm with ya on that Isyel. That would be awesome to have a mech MMO with EVE type PvP.
Unfortunately, there are no other games out there that can compare to PvP in EVE. EVE is a one-of-a-kind game.

The best space game that never was is still in my opinion Jumpgate.
Been around for years ( 5-6 now ? ) has very dated in station graphics . For various reasons , including its publisher ( not developer ) having problems it never really got promoted as it should have been .
But for pure adrenalin PvP there are not many mmorpg to touch it The difference between it and eve is that combat is down to tactics and skill ( skill as in personal ability not as in how long you have paid a company to spend time earning sp ) as the spaceship you are flying is controlled by the pilot via a joystick ( or some people use mouse/keyboard ) . To hit your enemy you need to fly your ship to make your guns hit .
If ccp introduced a zone with eve graphics and ships flyable like jumpgate it would be mind blowing awesome , not that current eve is not already awesome .

Yeah, it actually hit beta status, as an MMO, but was yanked and then killed for some reason. I was SOOO ****ed about that one..

I think kali is effectivly Eve 3 or 4.
I lose count...
Release = Eve 1 EXODUS = Eve 2 Was Red Moon Rising a full update? if so that is eve 3 Kali = Eve 4
And no, there is nothing at the scale of eve...

Mechwarrior MMO, erm, OMG YES! that would be totally 
I remember spending alot (a hell of a lot) of time playing M3 online(ok, it wasnt for the purists, but was great fun) through MS game zone (I think). M4 online sucked..(game play, mechs were great)

There is a game currently in development similar in style to Eve. It is called, as was already mentioned, Infinity: The Quest for Earth. The current graphics engine looks absolutely incredible, it loads everything on the fly with no loading screens (read: no queues). You also can descend into the atmosphere of planets and explore them. The universe is composed of BILLIONS of planets, all generated procedurally. It probably wont be ready for even a beta for a couple of years, but I'm looking forward to following the development process of this game.

I know what they should do.... Combine eve and a mechwarrior *style* game.
All hail eve, but imagine loading your pod into a mech and things switch to fps.
It wouldn't have to effect the eve universe as we know it, so no need to go there unless your into that kind of thing.
But say that's the only way to take over planets and get a non-eve-verse bonus.

I always thought Mechwarrior would make a great ground game companion for EVE.

[Wets himself] If only it was to happen. 
Not to worry. I played in the beta for BT 3025. It was rather basic. It was also restricted to a 4v4 map. I did enjoy it but it had some work that was sorely needed. They pulled the plug only a few weeks before they were going to go Gold with it, even so it was not ready gameplay wise. It was very stable and lag free though 
I also beta tested for Jumpgate. It was my first experiance with an MMO. I see Eve as what it could have been. When they announced they were going Gold with Jumpgate I was suprised since it also needed a fair bit of work. I stopped partcipating in the beta before they added the NPCs. Long Live Quantar!!!!
One of the few things missing from Eve is the Jumpgate flight system. Newtonian physics were awsome. Eve's point and click ship movemnet is quite simply pathetic compaired to Jumpgates control system. Best momnet in Jumpgate was heading for the docking bay of the "Great Potato" with full afterburners on while under attack form an Octavian. I hit the docking bay (which was only a smidge wider then my ship) going full speed... fomr an 80 degree angle. Full AB, swing the ship arround and full AB at an angle to slip into the docking bay. I am still amazed I managed to land without breaking up, if you hit an object going full speed in Jumpgate you died.
Anyhoo, my 2 cents.

No, nothing like EVE. Nothing.
We can all hope for World of StarCraft, I guess, but don't hold your breath.
Galactic Civilizations 2, "galciv2," is a strategy game somewhat like Master of Orion 2, but it is online only in the sense that final game scores are kept in a "metaverse" database. There is no player interaction in real time. Worth mentioning only because it requires a reasonable amount of intelligence to play it.

that would make me a VERY happy Messiah 
to the OP - the only other MMOG that I can think of that has a decent space-side is SWG, but I'm not likely to recommend that trainwreck to anyone soon, particularly as the space-side is so underdeveloped & lacking in interested players (with the exception of one server where a lot of pilots congregated).
however, if you liked games like Tie-Fighter and XWing Alliance then the JTL aspect of SWG is just brilliant. if you're looking for PVP, however, you might end up doing a 'gate-camp' in Deep Space for (literally) hours before seeing another player.

Well this is a space MMORPG, you are exploring a galaxy and doing missions and pvp, and building your char, selling and building... you have a mothership that you extend, very cool. You can also have your avatar like in Eve, you can upload your own.

That infinity Quest for earth game looks incredible. I just watched the combat prototype vids and it's freaking amazing. If they don't bork the game mechanics, economy etc. Eve is going to have a tough time competing with it.

Check out the media for Infinity: Quest for Earth .... and now imagine EVE with an engine like that. Planets look real (both from space and while flying through the atmosphere), explosions look cool... can't wait for it to come out :D

Battletech, where hath thou gone? Battlemasters, Thunderbolts, Marauders...infantry, armor, aerotech...so much there to work with.
As far as space MMO's, there aren't many. Jumpgate is still going, I think, but it's old and outdated.
X3 is supposed to be a decent single player space sim. You'd need a pretty good computer to run it though. It has production, trading, station building, combat, etc.

Truly that is the only form of player skills in video games.
