This is the cockpit of my spaceship showing the view from the pilot’s chair. Lots of windows to get a good view of the outside and you can see the planet I’m orbiting.
Cockpit
The main controls are a joystick to control the direction of the ship and a throttle to control the speed. These can’t be seen in this photo. The console you can see contains all the instruments to show where you are and the Head Up Display (HUD) displays information from the various sensors.

The circle in the middle of the console is like a radar display and shows everything around the ship. It also shows the ship’s speed and most importantly the heat of the ship. If it gets too hot from being near a star then the ship can be destroyed.
On the right are displays to show the status of the ship’s engines, shields, etc. On the left is more detail on where we are and what planets or space stations are near by.
The blue HUD lines give information on the guns and scanners.
