What's your favorite cockpit

[Emphoise]

So I used to always go for the Cabot C4 bridge for its stats, wide open view in 1st person and stairs that allow to avoid ladders.

However I'm starting to get bored of its looks and it has a (imo) fundamental flaw : character clips with the chair when standing up.

What are your favorite cockpits and why ?

Depending on my type of build i dont realy have a favorite one.

Copits like - Kon-Tiki B-600 Bridge and - DS40.2 Ares Bridge i often use for a stacked ladder build in combo with - Ship Bed 200 Landing Bay - and a stack of companion ways. This forces the game to use a single ladder. You then put a docker module on the downside of the first companionway behind the bay and you enter both from bay and docker into the lader when you enter ship

The Cabbot C4 offers a different range and types of builds these top copits can not though.

I cannot go past the Hopetech Armstrong. Boba Fett vibes.

I don't remember the manufacturer or name, but the bilevel bridge one that has the stairs.

I have to admit my favorite is the Cabot C4. I have yet to notice any clipping with the chair. Being bi-level with stairs is great and the view is excellent.

Right now it is the Taiyo Himeji command bridge, while I'm playing without a crew or companions. The armillary and cargo access is right next to you when you leave the pilot seat and it isn't as tiny-feeling as some of the other smaller cockpits. It blends nicely into a uniform ship style, unlike some of the other small cockpits.

When using a crew and making big no-ladder ships, my go-to was the Cabot C-4 bridge.

Feel like we could use a 'Preview' or something.

I wanted to start creating a ship, and all the 'Habs' whatever they are, are all greyed out.

And I can't freaking Tell what each piece does. (I know the basic).

Starborn Guardian through it has a downside. Are you in the middle of a fire fight? Barret will walk in front of you blocking your view so he can inspect some dust smeared on the glass for the whole battle.

Hopetech. Most of my ships end up Hopetech with some Nova Galactic pieces overall.

Easily fixed, just don't allow Barrett on board your ship. I know I don't . In fact I rarely allow any constellation member on board.

I like all of the Nova Galactic cockpits/bridge, and I like their habs as well over all others.

Barrett is just awful, what a crying babyman.

I like that Cabot I also like the long skinny boxe one with the extra work stations.

Been flying around in the Mantis using it's vanilla cockpit. It's tight, everything is easy to get to and find (storage areas). Other than that it's just where I do my animation sitting down, before going to a menu, and then a cutscene.

I've been in the big cockpits. Walked around. Searched for the storage panels. Then on to the same sitting animation, menu, cutscene. They look cool, but after ten seconds I'm ready to move on.

I guess I like any narrow, single seat cockpit just because it's easy to get in and out of. Not much else really matters there.

It seems you missed the point of using a ship in this game. There is no need to even look at the cockpit if you do exclusively planetside activities

That one is magnicificent, shame the weapons are so bad on that ship.
