Bigger thing: is it very likely that every single docking pad and hanger in the galaxy will look exactly the same. I mean, even varying the colours, ads, typefaces and maybe the texture images, would go a long way to some more plausible variety. Naturally the station services menu needs to be essentially identical in operation, but skinning it to have a different look would be interesting. I realise that adding a whole bunch of graphics is work, but it's not a fundamental change to the game mechanics or anything.
Smaller thing: can the docking pads have their numbers on them? The physically impossible hologram numbers are fine and all that, but it seems obvious that the pad would be painted with a large numeric indication, too.
On earth, no two large civil engineering projects are ever the same. Even train stations are all unique, but with enough similarities related to their functional aspects to make them comprehensible. At least the platforms have numbers on them... Why would space stations be any different from this situation?
