I think what he means is that, if you're in a centurion, you see a bit of the nose of the ship at the bottom of the screen, while the HUD stays (mostly) the same, and you might see some of the inside of your cockpit above the nose, etc. Kind of like in X-Wing, if anyone remembers that. However, you would have to make this pretty minimal, or make it universal, making it the ONLY in-ship view, in order to make it usable and fair. Also, ships with greater cockpit visibility may become prefferable over others, and may give the Hog an advantage over other ships, like the Atlas, or the Centaur in this area. Swinging the mouse around while in Turbo mode should also show different parts of your ship outside of the canopy, like the engines in back of the Centurion...though it limits visibility that is kind of nice to have. But overall, the realism is increased.

I feel that something like this would add to the ambience of the VO universe, as flying different ships ought to have different looks (though Freespace 1/2 certainly did fine without this), and it may be a wise decision to make the HUD slightly different from ship to ship, like from a Centurion to a Ragnarök, because they both have different noses. I'm babbling now, so I'll stop.
