Bungie says there will be areas in the city for Guardians to congregate. I enjoy a [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5F_5e6_pOg]space club dancing[/url] hall as much as the next fellow but I want something more useful, substantive. So tell me your ideas and try to incorporate function.
[b]Hangar:[/b]
Before leaving The City you need to step onto your lone corner of privacy in all of Sol; your ship. Enter the Hangar! Join your friends and other Guardians to form fire teams before missions. Friends and fire team memebers take priority spots so you can see their ship design and proudly display yours. Meet up with friends, join other Guardian fire teams, customize your craft, and loan weapons. You can also have a planetary map showing current Public Event locations and their corresponding difficulty levels.
[b]Range:[/b]
Test your new weapons and upgrades against simulated enemies. Show off your newest spoil of conquest or gaze at the amazing fire power of your local neighborhood badass.

a few good ideas have already been passed around but let me see...... barracks/apartments: Just a private place to collect yourself before you head out into the frontier. It can also be a place where you can store trophies, extra sets of armor, maybe even a pet if you can get THAT into a game. I get a feeling that your ship might also be used in such a manner but I like the idea of having your own place in the world. market/shops: (already given by Stefano) Just to add on what Stefano already had, places where you can buy literally anything you can think of, from weapons, ammo, armor, maybe even your ship. What if you had to pay an NPC to make modifications to your armor kind of like a mechanic? Maybe a shop for a new Raven? It's a market. It's bound to have what you are looking for SOMEWHERE. Library: Similar to what Dezarath was talking about though to be honest, I like his idea more but this a more simple version. Countless books have been saved and shelved in the Library. Maybe one random day you visit its halls to discover the beginning of an adventure that has a valuable legendary weapon at the end of it. cafeteria/food court: you character has to eat right? (unless you are an exo of course) Why not converse with your fire team over some food?
