So from your point of view, it isn't that there's a direction in space light can't come from- you can potentially see things in all directions- it's just that your definition of space and time have changed such that the singularity isn't 1 kilometer away, it's 20 minutes away. But otherwise (ignoring your destruction due to growing tidal forces) things on your spaceships work normally-ish.
