Thanks for your work!
What provides "meaningful game-play" varies from person to person. For some no matter what you do with avatars they will not consider it meaningful. On the other hand, for Role Players, even a meeting room containing nothing but places to sit would provide meaningful game-play.
Do not be timid in releasing something early that might not please everyone. You cannot please everyone. Be willing to release something early even if it would be meaningful to just a small segment of the player base.

An alternative is before getting out of the pod a slower, non-destructive scan is made and would be used if you died while out of pod. Result: if you die out of pod you only lose those skill points you trained up since your last scan.
But there are many many other issues with in-station combat. One is the speed of light. That is the time it takes to get a signal to the server farm in London and back to your computer. This has so far limited Eve to running on one second time ticks, far to slow for gunfights.
Games like Dust use multiple servers scattered over the planet, and you can only use the ones close to you. Such sharding of the spaceship part of eve, even when we are out of the ships, is not desirable.

Yes, I think we need establishments, places to meet and gamble. Someone has got to be able to bet their officer fit CNR on a sure thing, then lose it. Its a Si Fi classic!
Also voting for alliance meeting rooms and planning rooms. Some way for the operation organizer to show all the members what is planned to happen, rather that telling them over TS to "open Dotlan and find xxx...." etc.

I got some questions for CCP Team Avatar:
I read an article (no don't have the link) that 50 CCP employees were working on WoD. Presumably they are working on multi-avatar environments, and getting a client to display multiple avatars with good performance. (And if that is what the WoD folks are up to, it makes sense Team Avatar is looking at just game play ideas for Eve. No need to duplicate efforts).
Is Team Avatar keeping abreast of the WoD team's progress? Do you talk to them frequently? Are you borrowing their technology? Is the uncertainty on getting Wis due in part because you need to wait for WoD to get the technology working? What is the relationship between your team and the WoD folks?

Nice suggestion, I like. CCP, there have been many posts supporting both establishments and the booster trade idea. I do not think you should set these aside out of fear of "stubbornly keeping to that plan". From the feedback here many players would welcome their addition to the game. In addition, its something for which assets have already been developed and hence could be done sooner rather than later.
Remember all the rage about Incarna was not because of establishments and booster trade, it was because we DID NOT get any of that, but instead got just one avatar that could do little more than wander around one room.
