Well, here is a weird idea, just to see how you feel with it.
EVE enters in an era of prosperity right ? Yes, there's a war approaching, but the fact is here : life isn't as hard as before.
So, some of us (or some NPCs  ) might have get bored with stations and wanted to mount there own business, somewhere in the void of space ... but with their own means. And, I think it's not impossible to met a curious place, like a little structure on an asteroid, where pilots can stop and restore themselves, or gather informations ... or do some freaky and secret deal with some unrecommended smuggler NPCs .
Maybe it could be a place for playin' some mini-games, when pilots are fed up with fighting/mining/doing courrier. 
Maybe it could be a place where you can gather some information like local rumors or last supposed location of a player 
Well, a little more role-play place. |

I've said this before. What eve really needs is player owned property. It gives people something to work for/build/customize etc.

A bartender,
place to relax themselves,
other people around to make contacts...
That sounds a lot like Freelancer.

I agree it needs player buildings, and I like the idea of space stations, but limiting them to one size is kind of ignoring real world aspects.
Small business sets up a small building, just what they need for their work, they don't need to build a huge complex, just something small.
Why not have the same principle in game.
Different sizes of stations, from basic mechanic repair shops/burger bar type size stations to the huge stations we all see around.
Differing types would be nice also, for different purposes:
A) Mobile gun platform. Lower hits etc, but able to be moved about by a ship.
B) Sensor systems, to notify you when enemy ships enter a system, or specific area perhaps.
C) Lookout post, perhaps something manned and able to cloak, but once deployed needs to be disassembled to be moved again, and can only cloak whilst assembled?

it would be nice if you had corporate "stores", this would make courier missions a lot more important, it would also motivate people to travel far to find rare items.

i am not sure how a soace bar could be successfull unless there was some system of battle fatigue, and ppl could go and buy a drink to relax and the fatigue would decrease faster or something....i like the idea for small buisinesses :) ppl could be employed to bring supplies to the stores, maybe they could create a store chain....damn ur smart!

Just so you guys know, Casinos existed on space stations during beta. They didn't work, but it is planned for the future. Its just on a really really long backburner 
A bar idea sounds great, although using your corporate office as storefront property would probably be a better idea. Just add a bar module to this would make for some interesting situations.
Especially if they made the screen turn fuzzy if you got drunk

which brings up a new idea, should we be able to WALK around the stores? i understand the station is too big but we should be able to see whats happening in the store/bar/etc. but unlike E&B you could actually SIT IN THE CHAIRS

there should be some other way of socialising with the other players of EVE, other than arguing about whose in charge while your mining...

casinos and bars would be great RPG wise if you had a local channel that was only for the bar/casino you were in.
Or a station local chan.
That way you can RP with people in the same bar.

Bars are good! (you only need to see my character name to know what i do in the RW!!!)
Have loacalised RP channels for ppl in the bar etc. also have NPC agents to appear on these channels as smugglers or pirate contacts. That way you can have more types of agent missions.

The potencialof players building shpos ect would be great for Eve as well as introducing like mobile space shopsu knopw like the chinese river boats it would be a great idea with flashing signs and extra stuff you could buy like bigger signs advertising and stuff would also give Eve a chance 2 have a market system allowing pre booked lots and stuffto sell ya warez
