It looks like someone might be making different cockpits per ship possible?

Well yes, that's us. And we've already done it. Each ship in the Star Wars: Wings of Defiance mod has it's own custom cockpit. And you can switch ships in-game without any problems so far. In fact, the top pic shows the Tie Fighter cockpit in use at the moment. There's another post around here somewhere showing a temporary X-Wing cockpit. The same pics are also near the end of that post you linked to.

The technique to provide ship specific cockpits was explained in this thread nearly a year ago: www.i-war2.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1716

That makes the cockpit a part of the ship itself (as specified in your ships .ini file) so whenever you change ships you can have a different cockpit.
You can also switch out the cockpit per pog which is a work around to provide a visual change of "stations". We're using that method to switch the player per key bind from the cockpit to the upper and lower gun turrets on the Falcon. (the gun turrets are just a different cockpit)

The technique works flawlessly, we just haven't posted many pics of different cockpits simply because we only have 3 (2 untextured) cockpit avatars avaliable at the moment. As you see though, Second Chance is now working on this subject with priority.
