The big space station in the Corellian sector. We need to be able to dock with it, get an instanced docking bay for our ship where we can inspect and repair our ship manually, walk up the ramp and haul cargo to the cargo hold and such.
We need to be able to walk around the station, get missions, chill at the bar or lounge area, rent booths there to peddle wares and meet and greet other pilots.
There should be huge glowing holographic advertisements all over the place. Maybe even allow players to rent ad space and select from a variety of different holographic images and simply adding their own text. For example, a tailor might pick a holo image of a lady in a nice looking outfit and add the message text: Come see Cheeara's tailorshop, we have a booth here on the12th floor in the merchant level as well as a nice shop near Kaadara on Naboo at -1200 4857.
And please, makethe stationBIG! Not like the bases on the ground. They are tiny. Starwars is all about keeping things huge. The chambers should be so high that you can barely see the ceiling.
This should be the very first addition to JTL. It would add a whole bunch of immersion and it's very starwarsy.

I made this comment again and again in beta and was ignored. We finally got the black holes in Kessel, so I guess we should consider ourselves lucky

Death Star - 120km in diameter.
Death Star II - 160km if it had been completed.
Centerpoint Station - 100km sphere with 150km gravity rods.
Don't Believe Me? Click Here.
Do you really want to get 1fps or guaranteed crashes in Corellian space?

Well the planets aren't exactly exact scale either. I don't think a planet would be 16km across so why does centerpoint station have to be 100km wide?
They could just make it roughly twice the size of some of the current ingame dungeons and leave some closed off doors for future expansion. We don't even need to see into space from that many places in the station. It would be nice to get some windows in the bar and lounge sections and such but it's not nessecary for all places.

This is something we may see in the future (Boardable space stations). And as much as I would totally love it... this is not a priority, and is not something thats gonna be supper easy to do. Its gonna take some time. Give it a few months and things like this will likely be in development.

I love this idea,
as for the FPS issue, don't include any content in the Corellian system, just the station, once you dock with it, however, it would load like a planet would, therefore there's no loading of content contained in the station while your flying around it.

Exactly. Heck even if they were to have windows so you could see space, that doesn't mean that you would have to see the real space sector, they could just fake it the way they do with the spaceships flying overhead on the ground. Just have a dummy space backdrop outside the windows and some fake traffic. It would give the same general feel and would be most amazing I am sure. That way the whole interior would be on a completely different server, only the exterior would be in the corellian sector.

Yea it's good idea but.
They have other stuff to fix first. I like the newly crowded main cities it's more fun.
