It's not animated but the universe is represented in seamless tiled format from the navigation screen. In other words you can fly around and explore and view the Pardus universe from your navigation screen including other players in their ships, space buildings, planets, asteroids, mobs, wormholes, etc...
PvP is the most significant element in the game, you can raid (steal) from buildings owned by other players, you can tele-rob (steal from ships) other players, attack and kill other players, attack and destroy buildings owned by other players, and you can also place bounties on other players, or kill another player that is bountied and collect his bounties automatically.
This game is very very deep, be prepared for much learning should you decide to attempt it.
Oh, and if you decide that you can meet the challenge in Pardus, then PM me in-game, I lead an alliance (the name given to guilds in Pardus) of over 60 members and we would be happy to have you, provided you do not want to be a pirate, but would rather resist pirates or kill them. My in-game name in Pardus is the same as my name here. Click my signature for more about Pardus (listed in my top 5 MMBRPG's).
