Visible Cockpit
I was taking a look at a game of my brother's called "Starlancer" (don't know if any of you have heard of it).
And it occurred to me, that one of the neat things about it was that when you were flying the ship, you had a cockpit. It made you feel like a person IN a ship, rather than the ship itself.
This could also add interesting balance possibilities, since a vult pilot might have a cockpit which impeded his/her view downward. The Maud would have the best field of view, because of its bubble shape, but the arms might get in the way of your view left to right.
Mostly I think it would add a feeling of being in the universe, and of your ship, that you can't really get otherwise, unless you switch to the exterior view.

My personal view is that it'd take more work on the dev's part than it's worth.
