Ahruman pointed out to me an old game that used a very similar logo to my idea, upon following the image he posted it seems the game engine is up for grabs..

Would it be possible to have this as an attachment to allow you to walk around stations and board ships?
I'm guessing not, just interested.

Only if I get my flame-thrower for low-grav flying ability
Damn...back at the university they always banned me on the slowest computer (68020 and PPC for the others) while playing Marathon - and they still complained about not having a chance!

Didn't have a PC until 2005, was happy working with pen and paper and going to the pub.
Alas it hath sucked me in

In short, no.
In long, even if someone was to put down the large amount of work required to integrate such a system into Oolite, Marathon/Aleph One would be a really bad starting point. There are far better open source FPS-type engines.
