You mean like in _The Last Starfighter_ or like the Mellinian (sp) Falcon?
Could be fun.  You'd want to make the gunner cockpit totlly independant
in orientation (ie, the pilot turns left, the gunner still is aiming at the
same point).
Moving is a totally different story.  
I think it would be more fun in a differnt setting.  The narrow tunnels of
the mine seem rather limiting for this type of play.

just my $0.02

I too have an idea, why not make a game where the ship flies into the
human body.  Think of it tiny blood vessels, digestive tract, and lymph
nodes.  It would be a cool setting for the ship in a 3d world.  BUT please
do NOT try to revamp a game similar to MICROCOSM (that really
sucked...glad i never baught it).  The plot and purpose of the game would
be up to the imagination of others.  They would have to come up with some
sort of foe in the body other than white blood cells. (see INNERSPACE
movie).  Just a thought.......
