Carrier needs a social space

Remember all those threads demanding an ability for people to go to the FC's bridge, socialize and watch as the carrier jumps. Yeah, that would be nice, but let's start with essentials. The social space, the place to get out of your ship and into your teammate's. Carriers tend to be home bases to their owners and would naturally be hubs to form on-foot teams. Of course some people might then end up stranded in the carrier, so a capacity to call in an Apex shuttle or one's own active ship would be a necessity as well. Full Apex or Inter Astra desks would be unnecessary, just allow calling the shuttle through menu like in settlements. To be a little bit fancier, there could be specialised terminals for the functions.

In the most essential, basic form the carrier concourse could just be a small space with elevators to the hangars. Not even windows needed. The more fancier would have a view and would probably be placed in the island control tower. People would love to be able to stand around and watch as the carrier jumps, but if that's impossible to technical reasons, there is plenty of in-universe reasons to force cmdrs to go to ships to jump.

Various spaceport concourse shops and features might also be bought and maintained as services.
 
A bar, store room, and services you have installed would not be remiss. They would be identical on pretty much every FC obviously. Only difference being the faces of the crew really. Obviously, EDO has bigger problems to deal with right now. But after they get the worst of the bugs worked out, it might not be a bad idea to devote some dev time to it.
