I've never really been a fan of the incredibly slow walking around the captains quarters, but I have found one way I enjoy moving around stations; and that's flying through them.

As many of you will know on the Angels Extravaganza L4 there is a large abandoned station which is not collidable, meaning should it take your fancy you can fly right through the walls, and if your ship is moving slowly enough to maneuver you can have fun flying about inside.

Here are some piccies from it:

Personally I'd love to see some actual gameplay content like this where you have to navigate your ship through collidable structures to reach an objective - how much more interesting would Recon 3 / 3 be if you had to move your fleet through obstacles rather than just clicking approach and hitting the AB.

Of course, some other mechanism of navigation in addition to click-click-click with the mouse would be cool - I really wish I could bolt the camera directly onto the nose of my ship. But all the same, flying about inside the station was an enjoyable experience.

That's not what flying means. Landing at an airport is one of the most boring things ever. I did not read your long stupid post btw.
