I was a huge fan of Master of Orion, hope we will find the good elements of this old game in this promising new one

1) It seems that we're going to treat each planet as a province, if I'm interpreting the screenshot right. We've been told that the maximum number of stars that can be generated is 1,000, and that none of them will be planet-less systems. We don't know the cap on planets per system.
2) I personally don't expect the military to be much more complex then in CK/EU/Vic. At worst/best(depending on what you want) it will be HoI4 level army management, but I doubt that they'll go so in depth over something that's only a small part of the game, as opposed to HoI who is a WWII simulator and not much more.
I'd expect a Vic2 style army builder since we already know that POPs are going to be part of the game, and the ship customizer will help those with a specific strategy in mind do their thing.
3) yeah, I don't expect CK2 in space, but I hope that maybe managing planetary governors in the outer reaches of your fledgling interstellar empire/republic will be your first major challenge before First Contact.
(if FC happens before getting big enough for administration to become a headache, you're either a managerial god or impossibly (un?)lucky to have intelligent spacefaring neighbors extremely close to your home world).
If this is anything like a Paradox version of Distant Worlds, then I'll be one very happy nerd. For those of you who haven't tried Distant Worlds, doooo iiiit. About as close to grand strategy in space as you can get until Stellaris comes out.

i hope they create a planet vassal system where you get tax from other planet lords under your empire

I mean something like turn barren rocks into livable worlds and then put deadly life on those worlds so the colonists there will become perfect soldiers from surviving in hostile environments. Need to keep my armies sharp somehow.
Nobody knows yet; though in the leak it said something like 16th of February 2016 so perhaps then.
