Note that we already have a very detailed Terran cockpit from the FS1 intro.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I think it'd be better if they moved but that's a little more work again...

Perhaps we should have a generic fighter and bomber cockpit for each species? I mean bombers are much more chunky than fighters... it might be worth the extra effort for the effect....


that's coding, not modelling, so it's up to coders ;7

Nevermind the moving...the whole dynamic lighting on them is definately cooler.

A 3d cockpit can work quite well, if properly modelled and textured. 2d cockpits are actually HARDER to make. if you want details it's much easier to model than to draw.
wrong answer you see hiding in that asteroid belt are 6 dralthi fighters, a Kilrathi gangbang. -Devereaux

This would be an option right? I mean if you like it the way it is now you can turn off any changes in the future correct?
Don't think of it as being outnumbered. Think of it as having a wide target selection !

yes, but don't worry, it'll probably never be done.
