I see Ambulation as an opportunity to make your stats actually matter for something other than training.
For example, picking up missions could stay working in the same way, but if you went inside the station and talked to the agent in person your charisma stat would effect your reward.
When buying goods one could go to the seller's hangar and then the two player's Int and Cha stats would pair up and compare, and whoever had the higher would get a better deal.
Certain areas of stations might occasionally malfunction and whether or not you could pass through them would be determined by your willpower, otherwise you would have to detour or wait.
Allow minigames that are influenced by your Int to effect Refinery and production yield (solving issues as they arise)
Whenever players make contracts there may be a chance for a copy to be left behind, if one had sufficient Perception they could pick it up and read the details and perhaps ambush the hauler etc.
Stuff like that.
Also, perhaps they could add "Infiltration Modules" to Black Ops ships. Allow a player to get into the cargohold of a Black Ops ship and have his buddy fly it to a POS belonging to an enemy Corp. The Black Ops delivers the player to the POS and then the infiltrator has to sneak in MGS style to reach various targets such as the Corporate Boardroom which would allow him to view all levels of Corp chat, Navigation computer which would let him see the location of all of that Corp's ships in the region, or the Corp Hangars which would let him see what they contained. This would be countered by Internal Defense upgrades for POSs and corp members patrolling the halls. Any infiltrator that was caught could either be ransomed, executed, or probed, if anybody in the station had the skill, which would reveal everything he has said in the last 15 minutes and the location of any ships from his corp in the solar system.
This would
A) Give Black Ops ships a reason to be used
B) Create a new and unique player profession
C) add another level to corp intelligence gathering ops
D) Just be plain fun.
