What can we expect from the demo stations?
From https://youtu.be/3nVm3aKeOrc (source)Chris Roberts said:(about 6 min in)
We're going to show [multi-crew] at Gamescom: You're going to start in a space station, you're in a room, you get out, the space station is huge – you'll see this gas giant outside, you'll go out to the landing pad, get into a cutlass with your friends. They'll all get into the Cutlass – which will all be its own zone running in the local grid – this is why we have the physics partitioned for each individual ship, so it can fly around and you can be moving around the ship irrelevant of where the ship's going.
(about 9m30s in)
I'm really excited by where we're at with multi-crew. Hopefully people will be impressed by what they see when we show them at Gamescom. It's a real system that has extensibility and we're going to show you getting into one ship, taking off, flying, EVAing into another ship, powering up... All the stuff you've seen in machinima videos and have thought 'if I could do that in a game, that would be awesome.

Eurogamer talks Gamescom and the Star Citizen Demo. (Star Citizen is from the beginning to about 5min in)
Don't watch if you don't want any spoilers, but looks like CIG gave a good impression.
