here is a nice diagram
the pressure vessel has sections that are able to be rearranged via bolt cuffs:
A is the vessel cap; there are two per end, and some can be twist-locked much like a spacesuit helmet
B is the head section with the viewing window and other visual assistant gear (holographic hud, relevant data readouts, etc)
C is the mid section and holds the control deck that's heavily customisable
D is the footwell section that provides additional control options via pedals, buttons etc
it isnt exactly comfortable but wearing a respirator isn't comfortable either
ideally the utility section would provide environment configuration for operator comfort and the seat may be more of a full chair rather than a simple pedestal, but the brutalist in me says people will survive
