Dear Frontier,
Just the other day I was tooling around in VR enjoying the sights in my newly acquired Beluga and wishing I could move around the ship. After a few moments lamenting that Elite-Feet would likely not be released any time soon, I realized that I would still be incredibly satisfied with something much simpler to implement: Fixed camera positions from within the ship!
Much like how the Asp series has its second seat in a position that cannot be seen by the pilot, why not use the same sort of fixed position to give us views from the observation decks on the Beluga and Orca, the forward viewing deck of the Anaconda, the corridors of the cutter. possibly even the Captain's room? Just think of the screen shot possibilities!
If we wanted to step it up a notch in complexity, modules like passenger cabins could add additional viewing positions... Heck, in a lot of ships I'd sacrifice a module slot just to add a fancy observation deck to hang out in in VR!
Anyways - just thought I'd leave this seed of an idea here in hopes it might take root!
