I'm okay with the new FOV, it isn't a combat ship, it's supposed to be a hauler/explorer/support. Even the MIS is still more of a missle boat, so you don't need the FOV you'd need on a dogfighter, just would need to see your target. All the rest is more for the wingmen. Also, I have the feeling that the side turrets may have a camera built into them, allowing for gunners to use them like a regular turret. It's my headcanon for the side cannon.
