Maybe Bob Lazar was a fan of "This Island Earth." You could add an Interocitor:
Or this emo Exeter and his bummed out passengers:
Alvis 3.1:
I re-scaled mine to 1/87 and added all the requisite Nazi equipment, including a leetle teeny Adolph waving Auf Wiedersein. I was so thoroughly annoyed at forking over a lot of money for two salad bowls and a side bowl, with no interior I scratch built an interior, added a bubble "canopy" and a bunch of crew (There's a Kubelwagen on Deck 2).
The whole saucer is actually flipped upside down from the "real' one. Cutting the hatch took forever, slowly scribing my way through, like using a butter knife to cut diamond. Ugh!

For flight crew seats in 1/48, how aboot the ones from an F-16, for that casual "relaxed pilot" look? You could go with TNG-era Star trek type controls, completely smooth with touch screens galore.

Perhaps the interfaces are neurotronic as in some of the later sf novels by Lee Corey/G. Harry Stine; you wouldn't have much visible interface then. I rather like the idea, myself, of ST:TNG-style programmable touch-screen control panels.

Maybe it's a Gray version of Uber - you just telepathically tell the ship where you want to go and it takes you there.
