Um no.
*snickers*
Seriously I'm not sure I would want truely real space. Right now when we turn we make nice arcing turns with trails. In real space our ships would pivot, flying nearly backwards, and fire thier engines.
It would be realistic, but I'm not sure it would be cool to play.

I prefer games that take liberties with physics like the "X" series or freelancer to the hyper realistic space games. Possibly Vendetta Online. I played that for a bit back in '04 / 05 and enjoyed the physics, but to each his or her own.

The easiest way to make eve look like it has Newtonian mechanics would be some simple graphics changes.
Make the brightness of the engines be proportional to the ship's rate of acceleration rather than speed. Then have the ship point in the direction it is accelerating, rather than moving. Oddly, this would all be a client side change. The server does not actually keep track of ship pointing direction. If CCP implemented such a change it could be an option that you would select: Aircraft style ship animation, or spaceship style ship animation.
In all cases our ships would still be modeled as tennis balls in molasses. (An aside; molasses is better description than water. In water drag increases like speed squared, but in highly viscous liquids like molasses it increases like speed, at least for tennis ball size objects. Eve has drag increase like speed.)
I am running for the CSM. Take a look at my ideas.

but is it wise to discuss drag in the context of balls? |

When you are over 40 and gravity has done its job then it's a daily topic. |

Tennis balls in fluid? Great, that explains why, when I get popped, the gatecamp says "15 Love, my serve again"

Maybe it's more like Candyman than Betelgeuse. |
