Fighting/Shooting in stations;

First off i know CCP have stated they won't be doing it at first. But i have to ask this.

Why the frig are so many people against it? The reason i see put fourth so often is that of your a member of the elite, why would you dirty yourself with something so low as shooting someone with your own hands? Which i in no way shape or form see as a valid argument. Gods killed and warred with each other all the time, why wouldnt a demi god?

The other is that your cloning wont work out of pod, fair enough but why not just add some RP that there has been an advancement in technology and now its just a small implant in your head that does the cloning. And it also adds a new skill tree that can be trained independantly from your flight skills and it would be based purely around use of weapons, infiltration and what not.

I mean, it would open up a whole new career and one that i would devote myself to solely.

Think of it, your a bounty hunter, youve trained for stealth bombers/covert type ships to infiltrate enemy space. Youve been given your target, hes deep in 0.0, you spend time, money and charm on gathering contacts and learning his location, so you fly 80 jumps through enemy space to reach him, extremely dangerous in and of itself.
You reach his location, youve trained up heavy on code breaking skills and now its time to get into his POS, you break in, your target is in the bar talking with corpies about the recent succesful POS takedown, so you casually walk over to the bar and just blend in for abit, then you time comes, you would right upto put a blaster to his head and BAM! hes dead and in a cloning vat, but now his corpies and automated securites are shooting at you, time to make a dash for you ship!
So you made it back to your ship but now you must get back through enemy space with a ****ed off fleet commanded by the bloke you just shot, and they want your blood.

How freaking awesome would it be to have a situation like that. And frankly, anyone who doesnt think that would be fun, to me, doesn't like the harshness of EvE.

And then add to it that say in 0.5 and up any gun unholstered would initiate instant cloning proceedure by the implant.
In 0.1-0.4 you can shoot anyone but there is bucketloads of NPC corp security cause they are still their stations. In 0.0 its upto the player and any defences he has put into his station to fend off intruders. Same for all player owned stations, high,low or nullsec.

Have combat between people not like a FPS as the servers dont have teh response times for it but more like a game like Pirates of the Burning Sea where you move around with WASD and shooting is a skill.

So well, thats my point, i know its not happening in the first iteration of ambulation by why not the second?

So well, discuss?
