My Wishlist:
Fully Complete Station Interiors
As this is an expansion for immersionauts, what I'm hoping ambulation will include is indeed full immersion - the ability to walk right from your pod, out of your ship, to anywhere you might need to go in the station. Of course, being able to skip or speed up these processes should be possible, as I believe has been stated already. I'd also love to see full, or at least some part of ship interiors accessible one day. Crew interaction would also be neat. And I think everyone wants to go say a few words to Scotty the docking manager.
If distances are too big for escalators, lifts, or moving walkways, maybe some sort of taxi vehicle could be used - flag one down, give the driver your destination and you can ride to the location of your choice, for a few ISK. I think I can see a new "profession" in the making. Maybe it would be best left free and automated, though. It would be cool if it was fully integrated - you don't just get in the taxi, get a loading screen and appear at the end - you fly the way there, looking out the window on the way.
Non-"sharded" Offices
While it's likely too difficult, I think it would be neat and in the spirit of eve if the station itself was complete - no 'sharded' corp offices, for example, where everyone walks into the same door labelled "Office Wing" and appears magically in their own separate office. It would be neat if you could go up to the door of any corp's office, even if denied entry, and see that it is actually there. Maybe set a dog turd in a bag on fire.
Views of Station Exterior
Well, it's a wish anyways  . If not live, at least it would be lovely to see a simulated starscape, or a vista of the planet below.
Active Surroundings
My main thought here was being able to see, perhaps from your own docking platform, a ship moving through the docking bay on its way out, or to its own jetty. To look up and see the mile-long Apocalypse slowly glide through, looming over everything, casting shadows, etc. There would be some real awe factor there. But inside the station your surroundings could still be engaging - televisions or holograms with news reports, messenger drones sipping through the hallways with memos (like mouse droids in the death star), advertisements for local corporations, etc. Things seem to be heading in this general direction though, which is good!
That's all I have for now. I know some of this is way too much, or already in the works. it is a rambling mess too. I will come back and add things as ideas come to me.
Cheers!
