Why?

Not that it's not preferable for organisation and soforth, but what reason makes it a necessity?

It would not be very believable to have an Aurora cockpit while flying a Thunderbolt. They are different, ya'know?:)
There are three things that last forever: Abort, Retry, Fail - and the greatest of these is Fail.

Because having the standard LOD0 of a model have a fully detailed internal cockpit model is ludicrously wasteful. Even if it's not a seperate pof the cockpit should be a seperate submodel and not a part of LOD0.
Be warned: This site's admins stole 100s of hours of my work. They will do it to you.

So why not do it and then pull out the subobject if you get seperate pofs at a later date?
