i guess someone has asked that allready, but going through 54 pages to find it out is sick.
so, WHEN are we going to see this feature actualy implemented? I watched that video over a year ago and no more feedback have come to my attention since, which is strange given the fact that there are so many official announcementfrom devs about other smaller matters, but nothing on this.
And to give my side of view about this... i totaly love this ambulation feature, and i beleive that in order to contribute to the realism of EVE, all station services should be accessed from in-station rooms by your avatar. This might apear much uncomfortable to most, but in the long term, i like it better. Maybe the only features that should still be used from within your ship should be fitting/hangar.
Another thing i liked is the feature that will let you see the traffic outside the station. This is awsome and will give the ability to actualy see if your station is camped by hostiles outside. (isn't it stupid to be in a station and have no means to perceive whats going on outside? wtf...)
And another idea, not sure if someone has allready posted it: Station defence. For example, guns mounted on the station to shoot hostiles, and even player-owned (and financed) NPCs orbiting the station would make an excellent addition (something like 2-3 BS plus 2-3 support wouldn't mean much to unbalance the 0.0 PVP but it would contribute a lot to the game realism).
I read somwhere about scale issues. Yes, stations should become MUCH bigger if you want to effectively convince people that an infinite amount of capital ships can dock in...
Rentable apartments, for corps to use as offices, or individuals as... "private" places to have "fun" ;-)
Note: For me this feature is the most important expansion ever in this game, so devs give more food for thought and make sure it comes to us as fast as posible (\o/ can't wait!!! \o/)
Note2: Dont forget that after this you have the planetary flight project to complete SOON and later on the planetary stations SOON because there are a lot more MMOs out there ready to kick in and you are not doing a very good work on bringing new features fast enough atm. If you can't compete, they will put you out of business and i'd hate to see EVE losing popularity, its my favorite game.
