Things I really need for this to work:
*A robust chat system. This should be influenced by the size of a room. AKA no station wide YELLING (LOL OWNED NOOB!!!1).
*An ignore feature. Maybe go so far as being able to not see the offending character. There are ways to grief people's play experience even if muted...
Things I would like to see:
*Player housing. Player housing should feature some form of trophy perhaps? This way the PvP and the PvE'er would both have something they could point to to say "see I am cool." The trophies should most certainly not be the central idea behind player housing. The central idea would be costly babbles to decorate your private chambers with. Unless your character like flat gray and near prison conditions for rest and respite...
*Being able to rent auditoriums (very costly.) And having tools to entertain attendees. I am thinking a very basic form of a power point presentation here. Not just a starmap and some objective markers but something even more multifaceted and something you could share outside of your corp.
*Dynamic station appearance. Jita 4-4 would have trash and other unsightly things popping up due to sheer population. Or perhaps players would get to see more space janitors or marines running around. Low traffic stations should have a less grand appearance (think station budget) unless players wanted to donate isk to keep their favorite station looking sharp. Sound can play into this heavily. Jita 4-4 would sound totally different than backwater Caldari station #455.
*More public outlets for player information dissemination (that isn't the fraking billboards lol.) I am thinking seeing BoB / D2 / RA propaganda would be pretty cool. This ties into my powerpoint idea closely.
*Unique station features. Yes I know there are thousands of stations in Eve but giving say 100 or 200 of them something unique for explorers to uncover would be rewarding and avoid the terrible feeling of more of the same. Acura Bonsai gardens? Grand Amarr citadels? Gallente speakeasy? Minmatar err, junkyard? etc. I am sure we could come up with 100 unique ideas (just ask us...)
*Windows. Please let me look outside the station somehow.
*In station forums access? It would be kinda fun to read trolling and crying from the comfort of my character's private office. :o

I'm sure I have more ideas but those are my ambitious but not totally insane ones.

I've got another one you most likely already have talked about:
*Any station service available at a particular station should be able to be visited in person. It would be cool to check out a Refiner first hand, or watch people waking up in the Clone bay. Seeing ships getting Repaired etc etc. Once again this gives a feeling of purpose and weight to each station.

The station thing isn't because you're getting more players but because you want to bring in more players. I just hope the other servers and code are up to the task because if you're successful you will bring in a ton of people that felt Eve was too cold and impersonal before.
It would be a pity to watch them all leave as soon as they tried to undock.

I'm talking about stationside agent missions.
I'm talking about stationside resource collection.
Sorry its not going to happen. The in station thing is DirectX10 only. Do you think CCP is going to tell people without uber computers and cards to go suck it? No. The station thing has to remain a cosmetic enhancement or there will be hell to pay.

Didn't Torfi just say something about it working on the Trinity Engine, on Windows XP, using DirectX 9 Shader 3.0 tech... what about that means it needs to run on DirectX10 only?
I believe that was an outside the station graphical upgrade (which I am looking forward to) and does not apply to walking in stations.
I could be wrong but I am pretty sure.
