Some ideas to keep ambulation from just being a shiny thing
1)Make repairing your ship a task that requires you to purchase VIP service tickets for instant fixs which could be carried in cargo or in your items. Or if your not in a rush, you walk the station while ship slowly repairs. Tickets could be sold at any agent office, and yea i think standing should play a part in how much a ticket costs. Nubs could actually find themselves a nice business selling tickets to low standing individuals. Of course they would have to dock up to make the deal . But since missions and wars are pretty time critical, i think you should be able to spend the ticket from inside your ship.
2) I would still like to be able to paint my ship, even if im the only one that can see it. Put a paint shop in station. If you ship gets blown up, you of course lose the shiny.
3) Gambling is an awesome idea. But just playing cards or other games of chance.......eh no. These are advanced times were living in, and cards are way to prehistoric. Needs to be games of skill, preferably against real players. want to be different? Make it so when people come into the casino/bar they actually see people playing each other. Not some cutaway to above the table view. Make that an option for the truly interested to see all the game stats. Tiered tic tac toe is always fun and looks futuristic. 5 tiers would look cool glowing blue on a table.
4) Real people have pets. Wonder if there's room in eve for that? You raise them using different food types for different result then sell em like data cores, hehe. "your pet fluffy has a cold, it will cost 2.3 mil isk to arrange her medical care while your 28 jumps away"
5) Dance could be turned into a money maker as well. You go into nightclub, pay cover charge and dance by hitting the keys to the promts like all the other similar games. Want to make more? Pay to dance in vip lounge. Of course its gonna be harder there.
6) They have chess boards in the park. Put em in stations were people walk past and can see someone waiting for anyone to play a game.
7) Ambulation means your gonna have new body to take care of. Want to run like the wind thru station? You better hit the gym. If you get fat and nasty, there's no running for you.
8) Once you get that hard body, your gonna need the right threads to show it off. Better hit that store before you leave so you wont look stupid at next station wearing a tent on your toothpick body.
9) This is a biggie. If you get out of your ship and meet someone in station face to face. There is no tax on any transactions you do. Just like in real life  This would necessitate another chat channel called station which you would pass the contract link thru to get the tax benny. Always good to keep a contract slot open
10) There has got to be a hologram room were you can go hand to hand with someone using any background you chose or have bought rights to chose. Hologram room could also be used for training in anything since its driven by imagination. Fighting skills could be based on gym time or God forbid skills......
