Already posted this once but in the wrong place so here it is in the right place, enjoy.

Hey everyone, just throwing out some ideas that a couple of my corp mates and I were tossing around for awhile. So, we all know how you can walk around in the captains quarters of the stations but what if you could also walk around in your hangars to view your cargo & ships, watch as your manufacturing jobs are in production on the assembly lines, and meet prospective members in editable corporate offices that are easily changeable to better represent your corp's main activities and operations focus. Also what if you could give permission to particular individuals, particular corps/alliances, or just to the general public for them to enter and view your hangars so that they might see what you have if you feel like showing off/bragging or so that you might hold live auctions for whatever it is that you wish to be selling or that say a client of a new business of yours is wanting sold. They're just some ideas we had and we'd like to know what other players and maybe even CCP thinks of them so feel free to speak your mind on the subject, we want to know just as much as you where this could possibly go.

yeah, that would be really cool; it would also be a heck of a lot of work for nothing but a few visual perks. Someday CCP will get back to the walking in stations.. but for now they have their plates full.. at least for 4 or 5 more months.

In theory it sounds cool,
I would love to see some integration with dust making Eve the pc client of dust allowing people to ninja into your hangar and kill you there under certain conditions and such :P

Walking in Space should only be implemented if it adds additional game play.

Ninja into hangers to kill you is not additional gameplay that's worthwhile however. It's just a variant on the forced undock button that is even worse. You need somewhere that is safe so that you can socialise & use in game comms to discuss things. You shouldn't be forced to out of game comms by having to log off or be at perpetual risk of death.

Additional game play could be exploring derelict stations as an example given already (via a 'droid' body that just looks like you obviously).
Looking at your Industry & stuff is just additional glitz on the interface & will be less efficient than doing it the normal spreadsheet way.
