Its a solo cockpit - I imagine that in a real life scenario, a pilot in a spacecraft like that would still have a suit with those "features" equipped. But other than that, I dont see why a funnel would be that far fetched and if you have to shit.. well, I guess you're shitting your pants then.
I enjoyed every bit of the episode. Fun and light hearted all the way through and still setup a new "quest" for Mando. Ive listened to a couple of so called bad reviews and even then, theyre not really trashing the episode. They just seem like insane shit to whine about. Saying shit like the episodes "Table Setting" took to long - but all Im thinking is.. how fucking fast do they need to set this imaginary fucking table? You want the whole fucking season wrapped up in one episode you talentless hacks?
Maybe Florida sticking it to Disney will have some positive effects on their shows, too.

I don't think they're even used on long trips in even the extended lore, other than Luke, and he only does it because he can Jedi Trance his way through it.
I think fighter hyperdrives were only used for things like staging. It would allow the fleet to stage some distance away from a target with all of the fighters ready to go as soon as they jump to the target, rather than having to deploy out of the capital ship once they arrive.

The Rebels installed hyperdrives in their fighters so they could get away as well as be as mobile as possible for hit and runs. The Empire did not put hyperdrives in their TIE fighters. Only certain special ships had them.

Fighters with hyperdrives were more common than not. They were excluded from the basic mark of tie fighter because it's a cheap, mass produced piece of crap. Hyperspace travel is generally fast enough that they don't really have to go into extended detail about life support/supplies.
It's actually kind of funny, one of the biggest combat problems of Distant Worlds 2 was that fighters didn't have hyperdrives and carrier operations became an absolute shitshow because of it. The logistics of carrier operations become a shitload weirder when the carrier is faster than the fighters.

The N-1 Starfighter is also a product of Naboo and we've seen that the Naboo are very much thought of as high end aesthetic engineers. All their shit looks fancy but also is premium quality under the hood. I always thought of them as being fancy Italians ala Ferrari / Maserati / Lamborghini. Hence why Watto in Episode 1 comments that he's likely the only one who has parts for a Nubian ship.

Excellent episode, so much stuff coming over from previously only being in animation just in this episode alone. I figured what happened in this episode would be much closer to the end of the season and not in ep 2, super excited for where things go for the next 6 weeks.
