Best position for a cockpit? (in a spaceship doing high G maneuvers)

[QUOTE="Spacetraveler73, post: 6820338, member: 730555"] I'm currently reading the expanse and thinking a lot about how the spaceships are built. As far as I understand, the cockpit and control room sit on top of the ship (with the ships beeing built like skyscrapers). Now since there are no windows, I feel like the cockpit doesn't need to be in the front. Wouldn't it make more sense to put the cockpit in the middle of the ship? It would be closer to the center of rotation and maybe even better protected. Anyone know enough about how G-Forces work in space to comment on this? (Please no spoilers for the expanse, I'm only on book 2) [/QUOTE]
