More options for animation of a spacecraft has been one of the most requested features forever now, right after "make designer easier" requests that is. There are a bunch of idea threads about this.
I am sure it would be possible, just like with landing gear. The biggest issues is with finding out where and how to activate these modes. An animation could be triggered by FTL drive being powered on/off, same with maneuver drive and other spacecraft subsystems.
No real need to argue over realism or whatever. Haxus will probably get around to this some day when he goes back to working on the designer.
