The coolest place in-game you stumbled over...?

A couple of months ago I was in Atlas Park and was board so I decided to open up my map and seen this place called Recluse's Victory. I thought "what the heck" and went inside. As I was flying around, I had no idea it was a PvP zone. I went over to check out these large cannons on the ground. The place would have been completely deserted if I didn't see another toon in there. I haven't been back since as I don't do PvP but it was kind of cool to see. 
Agreeing with many of the already mentioned ones (several of which I didn't know about), but wanting to add that one instanced map from a mish redside where you go into a PTS control base or something similar and there's these big screens displaying a recording of Bat'Zul moving about... I found it really awesome. A shame I'd already done the Binder SF, otherwise I'd probably have gone "What is this??"...
The Abyss in general too. So much neater than the Hive. Although the hive spire in Eden is fairly impressive...
This spot in KR is my fave, for obvious reasons:
However, I've also always loved Lusca from the first moment I saw her, and every time I see her, I stop for a while and kind of "commune."

It may sound a bit odd but there's an office block in Kings Row that, until fairly recently (some point last year) and after 4 years of playing the game, I didn't even know existed.
It's a massive tower block with a central courtyard, the occasional Skulls mob hangs around there. You can fly right up the courtyard to the top of the building.

If that's the spot where I think it is, you've got the identification wrong. Look at what's there, and think 'InGen' instead of Crey Industries.|

I ran the Eden trial for my first time awhile ago. The last map is amazing! I'd never seen anything like it!
I'll resurrect the dead thread for something I didn't see mentioned.
A friend today took us to a mailbox in RWZ that has a message if you click on it. Location is:

Very neat!

Hey, with the game ending, there may be places on this list that folks haven't had the chance to see. Screenshot possibilities and whatnot abound.

Was close but kept going right by it. Cheated by resorting to demoediting.

Moon zone!

I thought the moon in-game looked a little strange the other day. I told the rest of my SG (the 5 of us remaining) that it was preperatory for the moon zone |

It looked fantastic though, even in their current state. And there was some awesome work done on props like the moon rovers (sorry, you couldn't have driven them).

We'd also have to put in Moon Rover Stops, so players could stop wondering where all these Moon Rovers were coming from. |

I just want to make sure you weren't mooning Tunnel Rat. That would be bad.

Really though, I'm super sad that you guys never got to see the new office interior that was made for Kalisti Warf. I know, another office interior, but even I as impressed.
This was a nicely lit, ultra modern, clean office interior that even had windows! Fake ones, to be sure but they were done very well. It was all very befitting for the new zone. Unfortunately I don't think that work got into the beta build.

I never got to run around in it, but it was more about open spaces than corridors. That's another thing I liked about it.
