>>8786497I wonder how much that had to do with whatever happened to windscreens. Classic space . Thenthey had these ones that lasted from M-Tron to Insectoids and Alpha Team. These were solid and the piece alone, though specialized, served by itself as a cockpit, needing only a 1x4 finger plate
They introduced new ones every year like in
>>8786728 and the bubble+hatch combo from Alpha Team Deep Freeze, only some big one (mostly seen in Space Police 3 and Alpha Team Deep Sea) seems to have stuck. These always needed some complex combination to fully work (otherwise you get the Alpha Team hollow submarine cockpits or that awkward Mars Mission Plane). Further speaking of Alpha team, there was what appeared to be a conversion of the old Space one to the new ratchet gears that replaced fingers (apparently good but lasted only until 2016).
I can't believe they went back to stand-alone cockpits until recently. And their base dimensions seem the same as the old ones (except the huge 13252).
