Instead of a Door, How about a Window?

With my Luck, the "Undock" would be on the other side of the station, and all I would be able to see outside would be the Concord Billboard. Of course, "Rooms with a view" would be in high demand, of limited quantity, extremely pricey, and owned by the Business Executives who have an office there.

at one point ccp brainstormed that a window could be paired with disallowing docking while scrambled.

Windows, structural weakness, etc. Besides, who want to look at pretty space outside? There might be windows on/in the buildings in a station however...new possibilities...

Every station is filled with lights, which are presumably windows. What if instead of a door you can't open we had a window, where you could look out and see spaceships. You could see the person who was camping you in station, or watch a massive fleet battle. A merging of WIS and FIS.

As far as how this wpuld work technically, I don't know thats what developers are for.

Window to space is something I've been dreaming of for some time now, glad you posted this- I think having a window would be the perfect merger of WiS and FiS. Private windows would not work, it should be a common room, "Observation Deck", with the view opening on the undock. No overview, you would only have visual. This would:

+ bring people together in a WiS room, also "HC PvP types who hate CQ"
+ introduce new gameplay
+ reinforce the knowledge on ship hulls and turrets
+ look cool as ****

I think its already been discussed.

And from what i remember the result was

It would be technically too demanding to see whats happening outside the station.

It would mean you get room out of space and the structure would be there just to prevent you from looking outside.
Not sure if it make sense. For me it does. It has been answered in more sophisticated matter of course.
Tho its been discussed as part of CQ not as part of Incarna off feature.
