New ships... why not new cockpits?

[Dantrithor]

Capital ships don't have cockpits silly, they have bridges.

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.
