I can't see ambulation coming to EVE until after CCP has finished making that silly white wolf mmo (flop anyone?).
A 'flop' is a 99% likely and Eve will be left with a half finished ambulation system at the end of it.
Why can't CCP simply work at fixing all the bugged aspects of the current game features (lets face it there is a ton of them) then work on something that the majority of the player base would like to see instead of nonsense features such as walking around station.
It's a sad direction for CCP to take and one that is clearly driven not by the Eve development team or Eve's player base but by CCP's clearly out of touch management team.

Eve is a game about spaceships, if ccp really wants to change it... well... let's hope there will be no laser pistols and lightsabres.
This is the thing, if CCP don't get ambulation pretty much perfect it is simply going to be mocked something rotten. It is a fact that ambulation has to be something really really special to avoid getting torn apart by the player base pointing out bugs and the useless nature of the whole idea if all that is involved is talking to agents and sitting in a bar or playing silly card games/mini games.
If ambulation is anything like most of the expansions that have come out in the past for Eve then it could well be the biggest disaster to date for the player base.

Funny seeing people posting they don't want to see ambulation, I mean how much time are you planning to waste, as ambulation will come regardless.
You're missing the point.
Ambulation will please some (a small fraction of the player base) people yes that's assured, however what about the rest of the game and what improvments and bug fixes could have been made with the same amount of money and work that has been put into ambulation - i'm willing to bet a whole freakin ton of new game related features such as ships, proffesions, items, missions new regions etc etc could have been done by now. basically features that people actually want and that are usefull could have been added to the game by now if it wasn't for this ambulation business.
Perhaps if CCP get the game bugs fixed and raise the content by a great deal then it would be time to work on ambulation, until then CCP is simply diverting funding away from the real game and reason people subscribe - that is being in space in a spaceship doing stuff.

I really like how you automaticaly assume that because something is not high on your priority list, that it's the same with everyone else.
Isn't having a fully functional non bugged game a higher priority to you then trotting about in a station? It sure is to me.

It would be nice to get out of pod and interact with other players in the station whilst docked, that would open up the RPG and communication side of the game.
The area should be small-ish and NO NO NO combat or special items or junk like that.
That is all.
I'm curious as to what you would do to interact? look at each others avatar? I would imagine that would get tiresome within 2 or 3 minutes, also you can talk and RP/interact with other players as it is already so how would strolling about in a station really add to that? If you had to go and see your agent in a 3D station environment everytime you wanted to do a mission it would hack you off, infact i'd think just going to see an agent in the 3D station is something most players would do about once or twice, if at all....

To flesh out the world.
CCP tend to speak about the future of EVE, not in terms of a spaceship game, but as a sci-fi sim, with everything that goes into that genre.
CCP have been saying that since day one, I remember when planetry interaction was promised which is something that would add far more depth then toddling about in station yet planetry interaction never arrived, the reason? Because planetery interaction is not something that can be used in other games unlike the 3D system for station interaction that can, its all about money and not about pleasing the player base,fact.

Does anyone else find it amusing that the Eve Developers are essentially giving us a completly different game for FREE
No, it's not very amusing when the QA system is in such a dire state as was witnessed with the last expansion and the not so hot fixes that followed, not amusing at all.

Ambulation is so much more then prancing around stations, the possibilities this brings to the game is mind boggling. Stations will lead to planets, atmospheric flight, true colonies, more depth and scope. Stop looking so short term and realize that ambulation is a very small step in a potentially massive gameplay shift.
Eve Online is going to be huge.
Well I've said what I think and don't have the time to debate it any futher, however, I will leave on the note that I will believe what I quoted above when I actually see it, and I don't expect to see any it in the next 5 years, if at all.
