One of the odd things that is unexplained EVE tech wise is why can't you see outside a station when you're in it?

A somewhat useful thing that could be added to the WIS feature, the ability on your viewscreen from your couch in your captain's quarters, be able to change the channel to see certain views outside the station. Note that this won't have any tags or anything, but useful to see if that person in local is indeed waiting outside the exit point. Also give a little bit of flavour if one is in there to have a few different views to watch ships leaving or arriving.

If there is going to be expansion of the captain's quarters at all, I might suggest that one addition could be your clone lab, if the station has the appropriate medical facilities. If you're docked, one could view if you had a jump clone at the station, and if you had a jump clone there, add or modify implants to it, and of course view current ones from an interface in the WIS. The clone room would simply be an add on to the current CQ.

Another add on could be the "conference room". This I imagine would be a larger undertaking, but specifically so one when fleeted with other individuals, view their avatars seated around the table. this of course is just one of those flavour things, but imagine the room with those who were docked seated, and possibly seated holograms of those docked elsewhere.

Anyhow, just small things if they're looking for ideas to expand this functionality in EVE.

Few people understand the psycology of a highway traffic cop. Your average speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow.

I could go for a poker table where you can bet isk and play against other players. Id make it so criminals couldn't play in high sec so if you wanted to play them you would have to go to low, and of course if you win they would probably kill you after you undock.

I think all of these are good ideas just mentioned. This will bring more depth to the game and also make gameplay more exciting and interesting.To me the more realistic the game is such as being able to fly out of the station instead of having a ship show up outside the station after undocking. Just like the videos that promote EVE, search lights on ships and more visual interaction with other players. Walking in stations to me is a fantastic idea...
