I have noticed a working solution for others like me having some minor issues with the FOV from the gunner seat. If you “Align Horizontally” (in Action Menu) when you park to shoot, the camera angle matches the ship and the full range of motion returns to the gunner seat weapon. I hope this helps.

Also have not crashed or had cursor lock all day, using this method. Combine this with relogging when you go down to planet or enter space, and most issues are resolved.
