Hi,
The Frankenmech Rules on page 189 and 190 say a mech can only have one cockpit and that the other must be discarded. Forum answer says the two cockpits cause some kind of conflict. (I don't know why but that's why I was told.) My question is can one of the cockpits be kept as passenger space? Remove the controls and maybe add a rumble seat or two? Would that be legal? Or not?
If yes would passenger space increase with the size of the mech? The bigger the mech the more seats it can have. And would those seats be free like Rumble Seats or would I need to pay .75kg per passenger rounded up to the nearest .5 tons? And how many Critical Slots would they take? Tripod cockpits can get three people in them. Presuming they can use Rumble seats. And one of the Clan LAMs also had three seats. Take out the controls and there could be room for one or two more. Presuming this is legal.
If not legal, is it technologically possible? I'd just have to slap the Illegal Quirk on it to make it legal to use?
Edit:
I could just use the first printing rules for TechManual, remove one of the cockpits and put in an infantry compartment. But I'd like to know if passengers can be carried legally.
Thank you. :)
