@Rebirth, good points but I don't know if a lot of people are actually using cockpit views in capital ships during battle because of turret view (zoom) options. Also from pvp point of view anyone would agree its best option to simply hide it until the match is over. (Some ships like liberty cruiser are definitely in need to switch cockpit view to fire more accurate shot and would not want to observe their pretty bridge at this time)
I see what troubles you is the view screen for the pilot. I've been using some custom cockpits before and some of them had bad camera placement so 80% of my screen was "bridge" interface, consoles and etc - "useless" stuff. My goal is the "bridges" to be like current cockpits (clean) but to correspond to the ship they are placed upon. For example the armored transport one have few windows and "ramps" crossing the view screen - the less the better. Camera placement can always be adjusted in the end at best as possible.
What would bother me now is if people would be willing to take part instead of the issues which would concern a complete cockpit.
