Which one looks nicer; new Mk1 cockpit or old one

[Falkenherz]

Patch 1.1 will bring us newly designed parts. The new Mk1 cockpit can be seen in this album.

Im genously curious how the majority feels. Personally, I do not like parts which are too close to real life, being more of a sci-fi inspired Kerbal. E.g. the space-shuttle cockpit looks horrible to me and I feel I cannot produce any sleek design with it, even though by its tech data it seems to be one of the best available.

The poll kinda lacks "I don't care" option.

I myself really love it, but I'm a bit concerned as to how some others will react, especially those who love fighters. The new Mk1 cockpit is really different (It looks more like a private jet cockpit IMHO,) and it doesn't seem to be a good replacement. Maybe keep both as parts?

[Starwhip]

I feel that the new cockpit fits the existing parts better. However, I still love the old cockpit (our current one.)

[Randazzo]

I like the look of the new one, but I really see no reason they can't keep both and please everybody.

[Alphasus]

I prefer our current one.

If you really don't care why would you be voting in the poll?

I like the new one.

X2 on the missing option.

I like the new one, and while I understand that some people want the old one back, I think having two identical cockpits (stat-wise) is redundant. They already redesigned the inline one, and I think they just would do the same with this one.

[Yukon0009]

I liked the old one, but I can probably recreate it with stock parts when its replaced.

[Just Jim]

I love the Mk1, but it's because I love docking in IVA, and the Mk1 offers the best IVA view by far.

So until I see I pic of the IVA for the new Mk1 model, I can't honestly vote.

[Red Iron Crown]

I prefer the new one, though the old one wasn't all that objectionable to me.

[Cydonian Monk]

I like both of them, and would rather not see the current Mk1 replaced. Apparently that's a heretical viewpoint.

[regex]

Never really used the Mk1 front cockpit, I much prefer the inline cockpit. I don't think I'll use the new one that much either.

[NovaSilisko]

I like it. It reminds me of the Lynx.

[Columbia]

The new Mk1 Cockpit, while admittedly looking good, is a total and large change from a fighter jet theme to a private jet-like theme. I also think both should be kept, they seem admittedly really different, like apples and oranges.

[Randazzo]

That's an assumption you've made.

The new one could differ a bit to reflect it's more civilian appearance. Lighter, less durable, cheaper.

So, why use the other one then?

[Alphasus]

Less durable.(could be weaker attachments too).

[Hagen von Tronje]

Keep them both. Why replace when you can expand?

[Columbia]

Less durable.(could be weaker attachments too).

As well as probably having more crash tolerance? And a wide range of cockpits could have a lot of potential for aesthetics, too. It's just one part.

[Kuu Lightwing]

How often the durability of an Mk I cockpit really matters? Unless you actually want to make it so bad it doesn't survive reentry?

That would honestly make sense.

[Jett_Quasar]

The new style isn't even the same as the old one. The old MK1 was a fighter style cockpit this new one looks more like a Lear jet cabin. So that leaves only one cockpit for every fighter design in the game? That doesn't sit well with me. Also the new cockpit looks like it should hold more than one Kerbal. I think they should keep them both.

The old Mk1 didn't look particularly fighter jet-ish to me. Fighters almost universally have bubble canopies for better visibility, the old one looked more like an x-plane or something.
