Well, there's the Cerberus with the Vestigial Hands quirk.  Hands can be used for picking up objects like cargo but don't count as having hand actuators for melee combat.

cheers,

Gabe

I remembered the gist of that quirk, but not the details. Are there any requirements for it that would otherwise disqualify the Champion?

I just know what I read on Sarna:

https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Design_Quirks#Vestigial_Hands

It doesn't say there whether it's mutually exclusive with No/Minimal Arms.  IIRC, the Cerberus has lower arm actuators.


Cheers,

Gabe
So, now I'm imagining people boxing up Overlords for loading as cargo.  "Nope, totally not a DropShip.  Everyone knows you can't fit a DropShip in a WarShip!  It's...a ten thousand ton box of marshmallows!  Yeah.  For the Heavy Guards big annual smores party."

Campaign Operations lists no prerequisites for Vestigial Hands. Personally I still think that Easy to Pilot would be a good fit, too. Those arms might make it a bit easier to keep the balance on rough terrain.
