Yes. People should buy much more economical atmospheric craft if they're not
going into outer space. Just think of the extra fuel used by dragging those
hyperspace drives around with your atmospheric thrusters.
Sure, you can see over the atmospheric vehicles, but these large space ships
have been produced under completely different design rules and they're not
nearly as safe in a collision as people think. And you can't see out of the
back properly.
And have you seen the damage that a star-trek type deflector shield can do
to a parachutist?
