The cockpit is where the pilot will sit and where all the Interfacing and various readouts are linked to.
Cockpit Basics
Cockpits come in a few varieties. The main difference between them is the environments they can sustain their operators in, and the number of operators they can accommodate. Some cockpits are pressurized, and some are not, usually the more expensive ones will have atmospheric controls. Cockpits that can be used in outer space or in completely unbreathable environments require either oxygen tanks and air filters, or full blown environmental recyclers. While operator interfaces are located in the cockpit, they are purely graphical, and so the quality of a cockpit has nothing to do with the quality of the interface, which is customizable by the user.
