Been floating this idea around in my head ...
Dock up in a station or outpost and you get an option to leave ship.
You must leave ship to access certain station services, especially if you, your corp or alliance is in a disputed state (i.e. war, bounty, or -5 or below).
Upon leaving ship you can interact in several ways, but one of the main purposes would be to supply yourself, set up special transactions such as black market sales, arm yourself, access healing services and shoot other players.
Of course their would be limitations, such as (but not limited to):
1. You need to accept a duel
2. You need to be a war target if in empire. Security hits would still apply according to the sec status of space you are in. So if you kill a non-wartarget in hi-sec (without the target having accepted the duel) the station security systems would fry you.
3. Sec status still counts so if you -5 or below you are open targets.
Just floating the idea. Think this would bring a new level to the game and give the community the space crave as well as the FPS.
Feedback?

Why would getting killed outside your pod end you.
I assume the pod is much more then a neural interface to download information to a clone. This portion of the interface could be small enough to go with you out of ship.

I am assuming (and I hate to use the word ASSUME):
1. Separate hardware and separate client that is "triggered" in certain situations. Code and game mechaniocs could level the field considerably. Bars could be full and if you aren't in bars you are solo.
2. Simple FPS with arena areas (maybe bars). OR maybe a solo type scenario with no group interface. We are not talking capture the flag but assassination/kill only or taking over certain serices depending on the type of station you are in.
3. For you RP'ers: ok you walk around with guards... instead of being the actual pilot that leaves ship it is a "guard" or some such and he has aclone transponder peculiar to that station only. If he goes to another station he has to register it and pay for a clone there.
4. There are no-kill zones/stations such as jita (although if it is separated hardware and client this would not matter eh?).
5. Your sec status has definite implications and follows you around so you have to use out of ship services (read black market) in higher sec areas.
6. This would open a new window for black market industry.
Eventually, maybe you can have certain ships built that employ marines and boarding.. Imagine being able to take over a portion of the station by boarding... Hmm has various implications but hey we already got marines don't we?
The best of both worlds. No CS or COD4 competition... But mercenary services could take on a different aspect.

This is not supposed to be all out FPS you will need skills and its a separate character attached to your main that you can train. A separate environment apart from the REAL EVE (hell no, I do not want to give that up as well!) I can understand how you "non-twichers" might be easily scared or intimidated, But you will probably never have any use for it then eh? Also don't knock it till you try it...
As for the battlemech idea... oooo! Thats neat! /hard-on |

Heck, you can limit it to low sec/stations/certain scenarios. I just think it would be awesome to have some type of combat ambulation.
What really whets my appetite is the POD changing from ship to MechWarrior.. now that could be awesome!
Another thing is that if you are a pirate you normally live for PVP and if your sec status gets to a certain low point or you have a bounty on you there could be an additional consequence. Lots of different ways to go. The limiting of activity in hi-sec stations would open up a black market trade that some could really take advantage.
Why is it that people just fly off the handle when FPS is mentioned or automatically think CounterStrike or some such?  This wouldn't effect most of EVE anyway just the PvP'rs or people that are bored...
Everyone stop being a wuss  They're are many ways to compliment a game it just has to be done in a manner that makes sense.
