First introduced by the Federated Suns in 3067, a small cockpit is a cockpit for BattleMechs.
In game terms, it only weighs two tons, saving a ton. It also does not need the second critical hit slot for life support, so bulkier equipment can be mounted there. The downside is that a +1 modifier to piloting skill checks is assessed due to the cramped quarters for the MechWarrior. On rare occasions 'Mechs equipped with small cockpits have been unfortunate enough to lose their remaining life support systems while in less than ideal conditions-such as while the 'Mech was submerged or in the vacuum of space-resulting in the death of the MechWarrior inside.
