Looks like a space elevator (as mentioned in the novel).

Technically, its still a screenshot of the ingame engine. Just not a screenshot of ingame. 
edit: Whats more misleading is the ultra high poly/res Rifter.
Actually those are just normal premium rifters with no aa. IIRC they have that special client that they run at some stupidly huge resolution to take screenshots then resize the screenshot to a normal resolution so it appears to be at a much higher poly count/insane aa level than it really is. And yeah CCP quit using the 'ingame footage' caption so they can pretty much put anything they want into the screenshot and video section so as to breeze by the lawyers.

A space elevator would be really cool, and also, those graphics are awesome.

Nah, I don't buy that. Check the Trinity splash and the official trailers, you can see noticeable differences in the models that are obfuscated by their crappy normal mapping ingame. This is no different.
I wouldn't mind all these staged scenes if they gave us some of their internal camera tools for fraps videos. Its not like the ingame stuff is worse looking, you just can't capture the moment so easily. Its like trying to direct a movie from the back of a Shark, you either get crappy shots or you get killed.

As Redundancy has said, we have tools here which we use to set up scenes. We can take screenshots at many times the resolution of the screen and use these screenshots for marketing purposes. As someone stated above, textures alone are not enough to explain the quality of the screenshots, it is the fact that the screenshot is taken at roughly 8000 x 5000 resolution and then reduced in size that gives the impression that we are using uber anti-aliasing when in fact we are not.
I guess he could be lying.

is that an acceleration gate heading towards the planet? 
I think it's a line of shuttles but that would be a hilarious weapon. I can see it now.
Grunt: Our enemy is attacking the station
Commander: Activate the acceleration gate!
Grunt: errr what?
Commander: Do it!
Grunt: uhmmm... ok.
"Enemy ship is launched into the planet at 300,000km/s"
Grunt: Impact has vaporized the offending ship, and half our capital sir.
Commander: But the ship is destroyed right?
Grunt: and our capital...
Commander: Do you think the Emperor will notice?
Grunt: Half a billion lives were extinguished.
Commander: but do you think the Emperor will be angry?
Grunt: The emperor's palace was near the epicenter of the blast.
Commander: That's not very good is it.
Grunt: At least it looked really cool.
