When going into cockpit/first person view with the dropships you should be able to freely move the turret, as you would with the side turrets, at the very least allowing aim up and down as you do normally when flying in third person. :)

I completely agree. Its kinda hard to aim in third person conaidering your dropship is blocking your view. And in firat person you can only aim at sonething for a few seconds without having to pull up to avoid smacking the ground. I think if i pay 200,000 isk for a turret, i should be able to use it. I hate spending 800,000 to 1,200,000 Isk for a dropship i cant shoot something with.

+1 but you know CCP + dropships...

I would appreciat a free look view with an aiming reticule

when you are in first person it will still be easy to hover AND shoot
right analog stick left/right moves the ship to the left and the right while
up/down on the analog stick has no effect on the ships movement instead it moves the reticule up and down .

the best thing would be to allow us to move the reticle up and down, as you have the ability to do so when you are normally flying, so it won't compromise control over the dropship.
