I have two designs which I use. The first is a two-person cockpit using the
trans-orange 6 high convex windows. The base is roughly 8 x 10 studs. The
control panels are set at a 45 degree slant using tilt bearing hinges, a 2 x 10
plate and lots of computer tiles. I have a DAT file showing this that I'll have
to post once I get it inlined or MPD'd - it's on my slush list somewhere. For
now, all I have is a screen capture.

The second type is two side-by-side cockpits using a single tilt bearing hinge
and computer tile in each cockpit. The cockpits are jointed with a computer
slope and capped off with two 4 x 10 trans-orange windscreens.
