Any word? Hoping I pick up someone from a station as a traveler now that we can walk around stations and fly them to a moon where we get out and shoot aliens? npcs? speaking of which have they confirmed we can kill stuff on planets with our guns? or is this going to be a barren wasteland bunker raid like star citizen.

Yeah there's definitely planetary gunplay. They've said you can flip the smaller settlements via combat (wiping out the existing minor faction to allow another to move in). Assassinations were mentioned in the first news drop. Stuff like that.
Sounds like the station interiors may be social / 'shopping' zones only. (Certainly that's what they've said about the planet ports at any rate. We're hopefully gonna learn more about the space stations soon, but would imagine they're similar). But hey, there's talk of being able to start on foot as a noob, and taxi rank looking affairs like this:
So never know, stuff like playing guide or taxi might be a thing. (You can practically do it now with multicrew, so don't see why not, beyond ship interiors etc not being a thing).
They talked about there being 'off planet' locations too, beyond the stations seemingly. So guess we'll see what they are. Maybe some of the installations?
Here's a few links to some of that stuff:
