you can oc almost everything but not cockpits?
so why not add oc cockpits?
oc cockpits can give more CP at the cost of heat
or can make ai targeting better (?)
or just can make it generate a VERY small amount of power (only the smallest one) like oc pd or small thrusters
or just make it possible to run without out crew when oc but with less options (like no direct control or no communication between ships (like accepting quests for station or buying/selling items))
and at last maybe just make oc cockpits have a special ability like a quick command that will drain power quickly but if it stays active for long enough it makes an attack plan for every enemy that it sees or smth
