While it's an amazing concept and I really want to like it, it's actually a terrible game. There's literally no assurance against spawncamping and the UI is extremely cluttered, among other things.
There is protection against spawn camping, in secure space. If you are going for nullspec, you are supposed to have corporation backing etc (although this comes someone who haven't played EVE much). UI is bit cluttered, but given amount of information it actually provides it is quite good.
