I think the nav sensor could easily become turrets. I thought thats what they were until I couldn't see any barrels on them. As for the entrance, ladders would work. A ramp would be better somehow. And a cargo door in the back. I guess what I'm saying is the cockpit is awesome. If it were in a slightly longer body so you could add some cargo and a ramp I'd buy it yesterday. As for motions. I think some seated cockpit control animations would be great. Throttle up/down, steering, some movements for when the ship rocks from getting hit. THe ones you listed were great ideas too. I really do love the cockpit, and i do know you had the ship in mind for other purposes. I was just looking around for something for me to use. I think its a great model. So the 3 main things for me are 1. Cargo area with access 2. Ramp to get into the thing :) 3 Guns (which i think would be the easiest of the bunch. If you ever get around to making it I'd love to take a look and I'd probably buy it. As it is now i was thinking of buy it later in the year and just using the cockpit for interiors and find a ship that had a similar shape and using that for exteriors. But if you are going to modify it, i'll wait for that. I can't really get things started until i get a new machine later this year. Thanks for taking my advice in the way it was intended. Some would get all out of shape and blast me. :)
