Walking in stations did exist for a while, but people complained it was just a medium for microtransactions that was distracting the devs, so they went back to mugshots and nobody else ever seeing your choice of pants.
I know, and got excited about it for a while when it happened. I think they should have invested more on it, and even extend it to landing on planets and whatnot, like how Elite Dangerous did, but on a second thought, maybe not as not every game needs to be every other game. It's just not for me this way.
