All the pieces are coming together for the generation of populated planetside cities! Station interiors will benefit as well.
My dream would be that FD released tools for building and uploading cities and settlements. We'd have thousands of different layouts in no time, from backwaters to megacities.

I'd love to visit a city I'd designed.
