You can buy this game in a store?! I thought one had to download it. Now I'm considering this even more.

Some questions: Can you have more than one ship? If so, can you have multiple ships at one time? If so, can you control multiple ships at one time?

This game looks to be one of the pimping-est games I've ever seen.
You can buy the game in store, AND you can download it. Downloading it has an advantage over buying it, in that you get the latest version so you don't need to patch anything, AND it's free.

You CAN have more than one ship. I currently have every single tech level 1 non-faction ship in the game, as well as a few faction ships, and some tech level 2 vessels. You can have all your ships in one station or have them spread out all over space. However you cannot fly more than one ship at once - you're not superman you know! You're a pilot who lives in a little pod, which is able to do the job of an entire starship crew - which is sometimes as many as 5000 people! So be thankful you don't have to hire anyone!

Just a little aside; Many people compare the starships of the Eve universe to the space craft of our world, which is the wrong way to look at it. In Eve, space flight was reinvented, so things are done very differently, but I do believe it makes it a more interesting experience.
