Two Reasons:
1. Empty Space sucks. ;)
2. I needed something that would hold the Intakes together (besides the
thrusters), and the bricks with extra studs (1x1 w/ 5 studs, etc.) didn't hold
together as well.
This section was suprisingly solid. If you haven't yet done it, Use LDraw to
see the other pieces involved in holding the two sides together. To understand
how it worked.

Unfortunatly, the only way to get the pilot in is to pull out the computer. He
also won't attach to the studs, but the computer holds him solidly in place.

P.S. Thanks for the Mock-up Parts John!
