Station size

Stations are tiny, and can not possibly have the rooms inside them where our ships are supposedly docked.

The scale of EVE is all wrong.

I'm putting this in issues instead of features and ideas, because I see it as a bug, not a feature.

Please make stations ENORMOUS as they should be.

CCP stop adding stupid crap to the game while the rest of it is still stuck in 2003.

Stations work like Cargo Containers. They are only x# from the outside, but can hold and expand to xxx# from the inside. :)

Timelord tech. Well, it's just a very minor issue imo. It's not like this is the only scale in the game being a bit off. Considering there are only 4 interiors, but a lot more station layouts, I wouldn't expect this to change any time soon. I wouldn't consider it that important either. Ship scaling is more interesting, but I think this might be a topic once they V3-ed all existing ship models. Upscaling a low polygon/texture model (e.g. stations) wouldn't necessarily make it look more realistic or better. The scaling might be better but windows and stuff could look odd. Also don't forget they'd have to rescale surroundings, some missions, etc. and it might as well invalidate made bookmarks.
