Anyone thing you should be able to walk around inside stations and they should work like cantinas/hospitals people can get a lot of wounds/BF in space would save time if you just had to load a station, wouldn't have to be much bigger then a cantina with a bazzar maybe. having a view of space would be nice while getting healed.
P.S. a clone centre for them might be good to for people who use MP ships since plasma fires are always killing people.

Actually, I'd love to see this capability for sorosubs. An injured player docks with the ship, goes inside, gets healed in mind and body, and heads back out to battle. This would mainly help those players who have had to eject while doing pilot missions, and it might be fun in a way cantinas and hospitals are not.
Combat capability would have to be left in your ship, however. We can't be having gunbattles in the sorosub cantina. It's not an Imperial cruiser and might be subject to rapid decompression.

when ya dock with the station, you really dock, that would be alsome,
walk around the decks and hang out, it'd be fun.
so if you want to heal up,get a drink, do some bussness, or maybe even buy/sell loot you got,
have bank stations, bazaar teominals and all the rest,( misson terminals for space missons, delivery and kill)
more atmosphere
I would also like to really land on planets, like see your ship as you do your speeder or bike when you dismount them
you know the thing with setting camps?, well if you land planet side, and not want to be in the Starport, you could put down outside cities, like player cities and villages, you would see the ship sitting there, and really board it, ( click on it to load in)
and then you would launch, have a lil cinimatic scean of the launch / land
then it's pretymuch normal from there, you would still have to access the stations to land, but you can choose more, like view the map and put down (near) non starport equiped cities

I think that's a fantastic idea!
At first I really wanted to be able to take off and land on a planet but I realized that would be really hard to implement. It would also probably get a little tiresome over time when you just want to land. What I would like to see though would be some kind of landing/docking animation like there is for hyperspacing. Something real quick that would just make it feel more like a transition from space to ground and vice versa. The animation would use the same system as the hyperspace does, using your current ship model and location. Might take a bit of work to create unique enough transitions depending on what starport you are launching from or landing to, etc. But I really think that would add a lot to the atmosphere and help blend the space and ground game a little.

Hell with just cantinas, we need dockable spacestations with abilities to have vendors and or mission terms.

yes, ability to buy a room in a station (not much larger than a merchant tent) for about 500k, and you must be somewhere in merchant to do so, putting vendors there would be prime real estate!
