Do passengers have to be seated?

I see people saying that they can't do anything like pick crops while the CV is moving is this because they are the only passenger and the ship needs a pilot to move or do all passengers in a ship have to be seated like all SVs and HVs need to be docked before a ship can be moved?

One of the current limitations of the game is inability of player to move around aboard ships in motion. It's an often requested and debated topic. From what has been said about it, this feature is on the to-do list, but not the actual production schedule.

If the craft is moving everybody has to stay seated.

Thank you. I was about to start building a new CV and needed to know if I had to allocate room for seats.

Passengers can interact with devices thru the control panel, while seated. While one is flying, the others can be crafting ammo, cooking food, reloading turrets so they dont reload in a combat, making medical supplies, spare parts for repairs. Or my favorite, accessing a turret and having fun with the guns! YMMV, hope yall have fun with the new ship!

@Balthazaar
This is only partly true... If a player is in the control panel, then no other player can access it.
This becomes very problematic when you have a crew of more than 2. When 4, 5 or 6 players are all trying to do the things you describe, then they will often be unable to access the control panel. For player groups larger than 2 people, this game becomes unplayable while a CV is in transit.
Lets say you have a party of 4 players. 1 person can fly the ship, 1 person can access the control panel and the other 2 players just get to sit there and do nothing except view whatever their seat is facing. If they try and get out of their seats and the ship is moving they get flung out. This really needs to be fixed as players often want to play with their friends, but at this game's current state, this type of gameplay is discouraged by the design of the game itself.
