3 Wide Cockpit?
I have the starting cockpit obviously and unlocked the second "2 wide" cockpit but is there one that is 3 wide?

There's no 3-rooms-wide cockpit yet. If you'd like us to add it, please use the "Send Feedback" option in the pause menu.

I also would love a 3 wide cockpit. So that it is properly centered under balloon.

i just use first small cockpit with a sort of terraces on both sides, dont see a reason for a double,

yeah I do too .. hard to use the 2 wide option cus my rooms are 3 wide. Just thought a giant glass in front would be cool. I'd probably still have a deck on each side somehow or a lower deck :D

It might be better to code it so the cockpit sides disappear when multiple cockpits are placed next to each other, just like rooms get no auto-walls between them. This way we could get a long glass that we could also use for the ship sides.

My rooms are 3 wide centered under the balloon. I removed the single cockpit and added the 2-wide cockpit then the single cockpit again beside it. I just put the research station in the single side and centered the control panel in the 2-wide.
So yeah it would be nice if the wall would disappear after adding both side by side to become a 3-wide. Anyway I still got the look I wanted until changed.

double cockpit will make sense when you make a double core ship/ aka add another core.

put it on the front window above your head so you just look up and its right there

+1 to both sides of this.
I currently put it on the slanted window of the cockpit, but I would still rather have an adjustable radar stand, be able to position it to one side freely.

As for the original topic on a 3-wide cockpit; I agree having some option, either linking 1-wide cockpits or a larger semi-circular 3-wide cockpit would be great.

I ended up building my airship 4-wide instead of my original plan, because of the cockpit concern. A 2-wide main corridor, and 1-wide out to each side for rooms. (bed / kitchen on one side, storage and (to-do:) dining area on the other.)

I would prefer you could center the 2 wide sections. So it needs more snap points for the balloon with rooms

I used the double. with double balloons. my ship is 4 units wide and the double is in the center of the balloons. it is a little big but a lot more room inside. I keep adding on too my airship. Not sure what i will do when farming is added.

I wouldn't mind a double wide design, but with the way the balloons center on a room, anything other then odds just looks strange.

I did find a way to use a double cockpit, using it with a double balloon, with the double in the middle and the balloons on either side (I'm guessing this was the intention). However, if the balloons could be attached between rooms somehow (say on the edge of a room), that would open up a ton of more builds.
