I give a qualified no to it. A FPS interface to reach every nook and cranny from stem to stern is just 'eye candy'. And, I suspect it would take more than a little development resources. Sure the modelers and programmer do different work, but they are all paid. Hmm, pay for another modeller or pay for another programmer?

Now, I would like more flexibility of viewpoint and FOV on the bridge, especially during close in navigation - docking and such. And, I've had a strong urge to look down from the bridge to see the gun crew in action. Also, US subs had a forward and aft TBT stations and a nice motion transition would be immersive.
