My guess is that on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game the planets and such will be spilt up much more than they will on the next generation consoles. I think that with the greater processing powers that are coming on the next generation consoles we will be able to explore much larger landscapes at once. If you watch videos and the ViDoc on this game you can see very far away in some shots. I think that the largest the maps will get on the current consoles will be smaller than Skyrim (since it loads in the background) but not by that much. On the next generation consoles I think we will possible be able to explore gigantic sections of the planets and the main transitions will be from major locations such as planet-space or planet surface-city.
As for the Last City, I think that we probably won't be able to explore the entire place. There will probably be the main section (that being the tower where you live and shop) and then different districts that you can travel to.
Space travel is most likely going to be flyable and fightable. I imagine that we will be able to fly from planet to planet using some for of "Hyperspeed" or "Slip-space". Since it is 700+ years in the future and Humanity has gone through its "golden age" of space travel and exploration, I expect that we will be able to fast-travel major distances using FTL speeds. As for regular flight I am quite sure that we can fly around and fight in space since we get to customize our own spacecrafts and decide why kind of ship we want (most likely heavy gunship, medium frigate, and light scout ship).

Another cool thing would be to travel around a single planet using your spacecraft or like a fighter jet. It would be smaller and more maneuverable than the spaceship but of course couldn't leave the planet.

I think you can do something like that but not with spaceships since flying down and whipping out an entire team would be somewhat unfair. I think it would add to the realism so I hope it is in the game, otherwise I know you can use fast land/hover vehicles similar to the ghost for exploration and quick travelling.

It would be awesome to buy some jeeps and warthog-like vehicles and create a convoy with some friends, then you could set off to explore the world and you would be a formidable fighting force.

I would enjoy that. It would fun to ambush someone in a vehicle and then end up in an intense firefight against and opposing guild or raiders. On that note: I wonder how many players are going to play as treasure hunters or pirates/raiders?

I hadn't thought about the fact that some people will be thugs and raiders. This game just keeps getting more awesome.

I am going to play as a vigilante. I may sweep in and save some one or people but say nothing, only take what I came for or move to my objective.

If its the maxed out convoy (see above posts). I will try to be as harmless/friendly as possible.
