Guess what kind of ship I am currently in!

Here's a hint (make it an UK version):

Oh, the noises!
And what's with the lighting?
Fuel scooping becomes kind of tricky in one of these...
 
It's the Adder, and I do not really like it. The left half of its canopy is half-obscured by light effects, and the noises are just awful.
Sounds like a person about to die of asphyxiation.

While I love the sound of the Adder myself, the superglow on the left side is obnoxious. Gone in 1.2 though.

I think one could come to get used to (maybe even love) the sounds, but sitting on the right gives me nausea.
It is just wrong for peeps who are used to sit on the left.
I am astonished this also applies in space, though! - For me.

:D

That is kind of trippy, that doesn't bug me at all and Ima left-side driver too. I'm more bugged by offset cockpit ships rotating around the centreline of your view instead of the centreline of the ship.
 
Do you really sit on the right? I mean, I know that the pilot model goes in the right seat, same as in helicopters. But I don't believe that the view is from the right seat.

This is difficult for me to explain, so I hope I make this clear. What I sense is that the pilot is in the center of the ship, despite the view. There doesn't seem to be "more ship" to the left than to the right. If you center the pilot over some landmark, like the very center of the mail slot, you travel exactly the same distance left to hit one wall as you would travel right to hit the opposite wall. The collision box seems centered around the pilot and the pilot view is in the center of the ship. If you could see this from the exterior, the pilot sits on the right but the cockpit is shifted to the left so that the pilot still sits on the nose-to-tail axis of the ship. At least that was my experience in the Adder. Lousy windows - the seats could have been moved forward a lot, but otherwise a sweet ship with nice performance and great economy.
