Ok,this idea changes the pod slightly but here it is anyway so flame away.
Have it so that when you leave pod to do various things you enter the cokpit.Have a view of space from a window and if you scan around cokpit you see a Pod smack dab in the middle.Smaller ship cokpits such as in a rifter are passenger plane cokpit sized while larger ships look like a scene aboard a destroyer in Star Wars.You are always aboard the cokpit looking out until you enter the pod(which allows the 3rd person view of your ship for battle mode).
So cokpit allows you a feel of sitting in cokpit.You navigate purely by the overview clicking places you want to go.When you notice ships in area that have warning signs you hit reenter Pod and screen goes black and a second later you reemerge with the view from outside...combat mode view.

Bah!
No need for narrow views as Eve can be further enhanced by adding a cokpit.I write this post knowing full well it will never make it into Eve though so take it as just an idea and nothing more.

It isn't narrow minded, the simple fact is that you control pretty much every ship fuction from your pod. Pod's cut down the number of crew required for a ship to fuction, so as a result it you leave your pod your ship will fail to function, Imagine a aircraft carrier with a a tiny fraction of it's original crew trying to function. besides what would it really add to eve? all i can see is a cosmetic value.

It's not real untill it makes you laugh.

Adding cosmetic value is true capt.Alot of people,myself included,would like to see the various cokpits.Just to give the feel of being inside spaceships and also I think you could add some abilities while in cokpit that you cant do in Pod and vice versa.Have it so that in command station you click on various sections and the whole screen fills in with say the star map.Once again though I will add that I doubt CCP will ever go this way:(

I could only see the use of non-pod vessels for the very smallest ships like interceptors...maybe

I don't think a kockpit is really something that would enhance the game any, but being able to lock the camera would. Even after quite some time in the world of EVE, my Rifter is by far my favorite ship. If I could lock the cammera behind it, I would have a much easier time manouvering my ship trough space.

Yeah a camera lock option would be great. I don't really need a kockpit view, but a kockpit perspective, i.e. camera locked at the bow of my ship looking forward, would add a lot to the game for me, even if its just a cosmetic lot.

Except that you are completely forgetting.. THAT THERE ISN'T ONE!
Why should CCP waste time doing something that adds a bit of novelty value for a while? They shouldn't. And they aren't going to change a 3 year old backstory just because you and a few other people who can't seem to get their heads around the fact that you are in a POD, want them to.
There isn't and never will be a*****pit. They don't exsist in EVE. Mainly because all the ships are too big for one.
CCP would add it if there was a huge increase in functionality, but most players of EVE wouldn't want a joystick control system, because perhaps they fekking SUCK at joystick contorl. Thats it, why not give a huge advantage to those who have been practicing for ages?
Seriously. People need to just STOP with the*****pit thing. This is the 5th thread I've seen on the subject in a few days, and EVERY SINGLE ONE has been told to fek off, because its not going to happen, it destroys the backstory, and adds nothing to the game.
