they could have just loaded the ship models into a 3d program and slapped together a landscape to go with it? :P
That's what I assumed. Load the ship model and insert it into a Bryce 3D scene or something.

I thought that was a store for all planet textures you've loaded.
No this is the folder for the planet textures ..\CCP\eve\cache\Texture\Planets but in this folde ris an empty foder visited.

I think the faker is missing a point here, should EVE ever involve planets why should it then be planetside flying?
It's not adding anything substantial to the game, Sims in station, a large scale combat engine for ground attacks or even a FPS to blow off some steam would be way more interesting.
Planetside bases with the same functions they have in space would be a natural first step towards this, them being the origin of trade goods.
But this, poor imagination frankly.

Yes, they have said planets and walking and all good things will be some time in an expansion after release. These pictures only make me more convinced, reasoned because;
-They could (not sure why) be using an earlier graphic engine version? Maybe the original one was made to support planets but taken out, therefore the neccesity of using an old one, and hence the interesting quality.
-However, I dont' see any reason to notice these pictures as fake anyways, they look inline with EVE graphics to me, pretty much.
-These are on an official server, and I'm sure CCP or some Polaris has seen this thread, which would have made the files be removed if not intended to be there.
The fact that is is an official server is probably the kicker here. All I can say is that if they have actually already started on the fabled EVE:2...I can only wait for it to get here... and it's nearly unberable. They have said that a addition will allow this kind of stuff, this is only evidence to it.

I wonder if we'll get a response from someone who actually knows, or if they're all sitting back giggling like ******* school girls over this thread.
If they do let us actually walk around, I hope they don't put in silly emotes like in E&B. Nothing more annoying than having a doorway blocked by 5 guys breakdancing. 
edit* heh shoulda known l3sbian would be filtered.

Planets will be interactive so far as you can mine them.  (imagine the minerals you'll get from that)
That's about it. I don't remember what dev chat it's from, or if it's just random info from the old gemini forum, and I'm too lazy to bother looking, but planets will be used to mine minerals from player owned stations.
Unless they had a drastic change of heart (doubt it) and decided to spend 90% of their resources, time, and energy to make planets anymore interactive. ( reaaaaaaaaaally doubt it)
But they do look pretty. 
Yes I seem to remember this not only from a dev chat but as part of some advertisement as well, I remember reading somewhere about being able to mine on planets...Cant tell you where I read that, it was like during beta..so guess im just no help here, unless many more people come forward with the knowledge that they remember!
lol...It would be cool to land on planets. as long as the landing distances isnt painful.

I'd love to be able to fly my Rifter at 16.7 km/s through a planetary atmosphere! Though, with the lack of some sort of joystick control it wouldn't be as fun as it could be.

... There's something that looks much like spaceport/base next to a city on the first screenie.

Nah, bases probably would at least be 3D j0
I don't see how planetary bases are a lack of imagination... I mean, if anything they are the most logical, space stations don't just appear, you know 
Well, A "semi" easy way to handle planets would be like jumpgates; have something like landing gates to go through. Basically, still fly around as you'd have to be in orbit, but with a planet background (and dockable places, of course, giant spires fading into background would be freaking awesome). Cool rules like crashing and gravity would be a realistic addition, but what're the likelyhood of those being implemented?

The Ibis picture would look a little bit believable if the ground didnt look like it was striaght out of a flight sim. Also, an ibis is anything but aerodynamic, so how does it fly in the atmosphere?
The only thing thats holding me back from 100% skepticism is how these pictures got on the EVE site unless a dev stuck em there?

Fake or not, I could make those in 20 minutes in Photoshop. Apoc flying over Hawaii for example

Ehm, read again and try to comprehend, the complaint I had was why would they add flying on planets when it was the least imaginative and beneficial feature of a set imagined.
Was it not me mentioning planetside spaceports?
And no, no breakfast for me yet, I reserve the right to be grumpy.

Seems nice... Anyway, I beleive these are true pictures of an early devellopment.
I use landscape generators, and as a result, I don't think it has been done under Mojoworld, Bryce or Terragen.
Just remember that for now planets have no use.
According to CCP policy, giving players a few stuff in the begining, more later, I assume that planet exploration would be possible.
Colonisation would be great also.
Anyway, as I can not do it for now, I can only hope these are early dev's screenshots of a future patch/extension...

... Uhh yes, i got that part; was pointing out it seems there might be more to that than just flying on planets.. in fact, that there could be very same thing there you gave as example of 'good thing', i.e. planetary bases. o.O;

Hey now, no offense meant, just sounded like you thought planets were a bad idea in general, my mistake 
Flying on planets would be nice... well, no use really, but it'd be really pretty. Wouldn't make much sense, probably only select few Caldari frigs could even "fly", unless you were in low orbit or something, hence the giant spire docking stations...
Basically, making planets something other than a big station would be really cool looking, especially if the ground looked pretty (I do admit, everything but the sky looks rather fakey in those shots... if real, the improved engine would look niiiiiice)

Flight sim graphic engines produce nice earth landscapes, so why shouldn't CCP use a similar technique for rendering distant planets if it was to be a part of the game?
And if you have thrusters, strong enough to lift the ship out of gravity, pointing downwards, you don't have to worry very much about aerodynamics.
Fake or not, I really hope this is something we will get to see in EVE.
