[QUOTE="Wil, post: 2810344, member: 3502"] Which I guess I could see...if it weren't for the fact that humanoid vehicles being used in zero-gravity isn't nearly as unbelievable as they would be on the ground. Sure, they don't need legs or arms, but most space-based fighters don't need canopies or wings either - and many people seem to have no problem with those. For space-superiority, a humanoid form is almost as good as any other. And many newer designs in the JC universe dispensed with legs in favor of just having the lower-fuselage/thrusters and the torso. The head mounting the primary sensor arrays is not much different than mounting them in a turret, and the arms actually can actually come in quite "handy". Of course, I've always been tossed up about whether or not having the mech on the cover did anything to help the game - to me it didn't convey the most important aspects of the setting, and I'd have been a lot happier with some panoramic view of the Jovian capital with ships and whatnot flitting about it.
