Make a notice on the forums "Seeking designers to model new cockpits", make a team then divide tasks, like one designer takes Kusari cockpits, on rheinland, one outcast caps, one IMG and so on.

That made me think about something that may help cruiser pilots. Why, instead of designing a simple cockpit, or a full bridge, don't you make it so it looks like some sort of monitor? with something transparent-ish as aiming reticle, HUD-like. Just an idea i'd like to toss-in.

Shocking news!
Freelancer didn't support making bridges, so we can't make bridge. We just can try to make cockpit that looks like a bridge. But here is some underwater stones, like if that bridge will be too big it automatically become useless duo to poor view from windows.
Making a bridge for a cap ship is epic fail. The area of space it would take up would make it so that only a small group of people would enjoy it. Everyone else would complain how they can't see anything. The monitor Idea, is epic win. I think I'm going to play around with that idea.
As a frequent BWT pilot I NEVER use cockpit view because it makes no sense, it's at the back in the world view and yet I have nothing in front of me in cockpit view? This is WRONG. More than just that, it's absolutely immoral to deny me the ability to feel like everything's fine and cruise along through asteroids like a freaking ninja. LFs do not have this problem, larger ships shouldn't either. A++ thread, would read again.
