Because a mech is piloted by someone inside, there has to be a space where the pilot is inside controlling the mech, but where is that place_

[EliteShooter]

I can't tell you, it's a secret.

[Siamenis]

I think it's one of the legs.


Upper torso is the likeliest place to sit in, though.

[Saturnine]

Don't think too hard about it - down that path lies madness.

A rough sketch of where I think the pilot sits.

Ramstein air base, doing it by remote control while eating donuts.

This is why I shoot at the legs, you get bonus damage for hitting the pilot.  So this way ur enemy dies faster .  Thats why I think I win a lot of duels.

As others have said, in the upper torso.

What abut the windscreen_ Most mechs use cameras placed on the outside. Check out the Infil, Reaper, and Grenadier's elite skins.

[Miscellaneous]

As many others have said, I believe it is in the Cockpit.

beat me to it. there are a couple other concept art images somewhere out there with the same 'pilot caution' diagrams too

[EM1O]

I know for a fact at least one pilot is remote controlling it while eating beef jerky and drinking cheap wine, in his underwear.

[Teljaxx]

I ride from the mecha-saddle I installed on the back of all my mechs. Ah, the wind whipping against my face, that is what war is truly about.

[Fulano2]

I always had this in mind too. With some mechs is pretty obvious where the pilot goes. Brawler has a round camera bolted, so the pilot probably sees a projection from that camera on a plate. Did you notice that the Brawler has headlights_ =D
Now another question. How does the pilot control the mech_
Two sticks_ One for weapons and another for movement_ How about dodging, hovering, internals or such_
What do you think_

[eth0]

Most mechs have a camera lookin' thing somewhere near the front. If not, then a windshield like on the boot (inf) chassis. That model is old anyway.

A magsafe plug to the back of the neck.

Actually, inside of the cockpit there is a small wooden Ikea desk. On this desk the pilot has a military grade keyboard and mouse for superior controls. You see, the advantage of the keyboard over dual joysticks is twofold:

- You can advertise the wonderful events organised by the players (shameless advertising)
- You can type to people how big of a scrub they are and to git gud.

It was the most logical solution, ofc.

more precisely the pilot is seat infront of the Monitor (desktop+Laptop)

A helmet mounted space monitor, of course.
