Does it have a cockpit?

Well, sort of.  There is  space for the pilot.  But not much more than that.
I know you like to see the internal systems, but I just never seem to find
the time.  Also, seems like my structures always seem to small to really
have any room for  LEGO sized components.

I guess I'll just have to say it's all a neuro-holographic control
interface.  Direct feeds to the pilot's neural network are used for movement
and balance.  All status indicators are projected directly into the pilot's
optic nerve.   This shows the pilot a complete cockpit system with out the
need to actually create a physical counterpart.  In addition, all movement
inputs by the pilot are intercepted by the control linkage and redirected to
the Copperhead's actuators.  To some extent, the Copperhead is simply "worn".

Yeah, I know.  Cop out, huh?   Oh, well.  8)

Nah, I'll buy it if you can at least cram a minifig in there. :^)
