I've had this idea for a while now. While it is known the World of Blake used small cockpits with their Manei Domini cybersoldiers, why not try using another cockpit known for its problems and solve them with the DNI system used by the Shadow Divisions?

Mostly this was an experiment with using a torso-cockpit and an Omni mech. The four slots in the head make for interesting placement of weapons. PPCs and the like that don't allow lower arm usage suddenly become very nice when you can slot them into the head and use the arms for something else.
