I do feel that this is an opportunity that opens up new possibilities and spin-offs.
Walk around a space station, go to bar pick up a contract etc - This would be nice, but done before in GTA etc
Play games against other CMDR's - Pool, darts, bowling - Nice, but done before in GTA etc
Walk around hanger, look at ships - Fine
The opportunity is perhaps that different stations have different attractions that become sub games - you could have a theme park and roller coaster inside a station and use the Planet Coaster engine or have a station that has been taken over by a faction and have a wing team go in to take back the station like CS: GO. Perhaps the Outsider could be resurrected, may be a starting point?
A casino station
A Mafia station working for a boss or get a contract out on a CMDR in the game.
I would have liked there to be a 'dodgy' second-hand ship market for rare 'stollen' military ships for sale from time to time. If stollen then you would be wanted and may only get the use for a short space of time.
Space stations dedicated to rescue missions with dedicated SRV's.
Surface stations could have underground cave systems.
In essence entering the specific space station or surface station could allow the game to go in any direction it would wish to.
Just some thoughts
