General Seat configurations

[RetroPaladin]

Please let us decide the number of seats in the ship, for different purposes.
For example, four seats for big multicrew party, or a single one to have all in symmetry and centered (and get rid of annoying canopy bars, like in FDL).

You want to change the number of seats according to the number of people in the ship? What madness is this?

Assuming all ships already have as many seats (up to 4) that will fit (not necessarily the case) the only reason I might want to remove seats would be to save weight, and I don't imagine it would be much.

Potentially adding more seats (up to 4 max) for multi-crew might work for a few ships but I'm not sure adding the complexity of player agency here would achieve much over more simply adding more seats to any ship where there is room.

Having the option to fly the ship from other seats could be cool, a rhd Cobra/Python or a LHD cutter would be nice & shouldn't take too much effort beyond remodelling the dashboard a bit.

Removing the glass bars from the FDL is a popular request, there are plenty of cockpits that have room for improvement. In general I think I'd rather have more ships or variants of existing ships rather than reworking existing ones.

This is how Cutter cockpit could look like

I still want my aliens moment, I want the drop ship to be a ship to carry troops.
Not the vulture at CZs

Nope, that would be the Corvette - the ship with the highest passenger capacity. The biggest tank has better passenger capacity than the biggest bus, the Beluga Liner.
