Thought of this recently, seems it'd be a somewhat simple addon to make something of the current WiS situation. (please don't shoot me for talking about WiS Sad )

Basically, the idea is just a way to open the door every now and then, to make CQ feel a bit less...isolated. Dock in a station with fleetmates or corp/alliance mates/, push the button, and end up in a shared lobby room with whoever else has decided to venture out. You could use the pregame lobby room from Dust. That'd actually help tie the two together a bit, I think.

Could even support multiple destination rooms, via something similar to Mass Effect's mass transit interface on the citadel.

Normally I wouldn't support more work on WiS at the cost of FiS development time, but the code base for this and even (potentially) the area itself already exist in Dust...

While I commend your idea, it has already been thought of. It was the original plan of CCP to make such rooms for corps/alliances/etc. They even had a working construct at some fanfest or other. But, due to the Jita riots and mass ragequitting CCP rightfully responded by scrapping WiS.

While I agree that it'd be cool and the tools are there, I think that it's far too touchy a subject to "Open the Door".
