Because of VR I mostly fly Lakon ships. Certainly, the cockpit is exposed, but after the first time I landed on a planet with a T6, any other ship seemed to have its view too blocked.
Cosmetics are missing something important.

There can't be trash rolling around your feet when not on a planet or in a rotating station, because there is no artificial gravity.
That said, I'd love to be able to change colours and details in my cockpit.
A rear view screen - Ability to toggle on/off for those times you forget to get docking permission and need to reverse out of the station.
Its job is to protect you from the month old pizza crust poking your eye out when you take a sharp left.Given the Remlock can cut of compromised limbs if needed to provide a seal, I dont think a hat would matter to the Remlock
Flight Suit
Remlok's iconic flight suit has become the staple uniform for countless pilots of all professions. Such is its success that even the Pilots' Federation supply new Commanders with the suit as standard. — In-Game Description The Flight Suit, also known as the Remlok Suit, is a suit manufactured by...elite-dangerous.fandom.com

Though I suppose it is something Frontier seem to be moving away from a bit. I don't think they've sunk quite so low as...

...yet though.
It always bothered me that it didn't change with the ship kits either. I'd probably use them more if it did.
Yeah it’s like the whole point of living in the future is lost on the FD staff, you have a space shop that has 1970s technology integrated in to it.
We could have so many new options like change the scanner to do different things, and there’s the middle control screen when you lock on to an object the screen should change to show the object and it’s stats, plus it should automatically lock on to say the power plant if you are in fight mode as I think that’s what everyone shoots at the most.
Just lots and lots of little missed opportunities all over the place.

I've always thought it was odd that every ship is capable of traveling in reverse, but has no mechanism able to see in that direction.
Yup CENTER CONSOLE really needs to be changed for the better, pilots have knee boards so that they can look down quickly read whats needed and then adjust whatever needs adjusting. FD put a nice screen right between me knees where I can just glance down and use it for nothing.

Good lord could you imagine how much more hazardous it would get trying to fly/dock? Rack up fines because the damn burger wrapper got in your face
I'd prefer to see wear from use as an element of the game outside cosmetics. Be neat to start off with a shiny new ship (or a somewhat battered one if we ever get a used shipyard option) and see it gradually take a beating with the odd repair and so on. Give you more a sense of attachmsent and history to your ships. You'd want the option to refurbish to bring things back up to (or close to) spec but that is then a thing you actively do. Perhaps have cosmetics around other elements of the cockpit like panel colours and textures and some other props.
