The virtues of being a virtual GOD makes 'normal' obsolete- no self respecting pilot would open their pod if it meant downgrading to 'normal'.
Why would they not want to leave their Pod?
- Jacus Roden, the current Gallente President is a Capsuleer and spends most of his time in the Office, not in the Capsule (Source: "Templar One")
- Jamyl Sarum I is a Capsuleer and spends most of her time out-of-capsule (Sources: "The Empyrean Age", "Templar One")
- "The Broker" also was a Capsuleer and spent a high amount of time outside of his Capsule (Source: "The Empyrean Age")
- Admiral Alexander Noir was a Capsuleer and spent most of his retirement outside of his Pod, sitting in his Garden with his lovely wife (Source: "The Empyrean Age")
- Korvin Lears, a highly decorated Hero of the Gallente Navy, a Capsuleer, spends -a lot- of the time outside of his Pod, even visits shady bars as we could withness in "The Empyrean Age". He actually likes to be downgraded to "normal", literally. (Sources: "The Empyrean Age" and "Templar One")
- Mens Reppola, the current CEO of the Ishukone Corporation is also a Capsuleer and spends a great deal of his time outside of his Pod (He has a wife and a daughter, so he indeed has a more or less "normal" Life - Source: "Templar One")
- Otro Gariushi, former CEO of the Ishukone Corporation too was a Capsuleer that spent most of his time outside of the Pod (Sources: "The Empyrean Age" and "Templar One")
This list could be continued almost infinitely.
There are so many Capsuleers in the Lore that live a completely ordinary life outside of their Pods.
However, I support your Idea of Walking-In-Station. Especially after reading the "A Burning Life" Novel that "shows" a lot about the Stations and how people Life in there, how they "fake" Day 'n Night cycles to give people a sense of "normality" in Space, the Artists Destrict with it's Neon Lights during "night time', the Engineer District, the Higher Levels District... The "Down Town" with it's Skyscrapers... It would be amazing to see all this and to wander in that Stations, meet up with people in Bars or neatly built Gardens... Or even an interactive Library...
As long as there is no shooting and killing and war in the Station I am fully okay with this. Inside the Station should be a save Haven to relax and socialize.
No need to make it a shooter, since if people desire this, next Elevator to the Drop Ship Hangar, destination: Dust 514. |
