The cockpit is a self-contained control center which can be ejected in case of emergency.
Knightmare Frames are piloted from a cockpit set in the protruding 'hump back' in the unit. Factspheres are commonly protected under a layer of armor which can be retracted to improve system sensitivity. Visual data is gathered through Factsphere Sensors, which have thermographic capability and an array of other data-collection functions which are collated in real-time. In addition to the standard range of bipedal movement, Knightmare Frames are equipped with Landspinners, self-propelled roller skates attached to the ankles of the machines, which allow them to achieve high mobility and speeds on most terrain. Knightmare Frames often have a humanoid shape and are usually between four and five meters tall, about twice the height of an average main battle tank, giving them a significant height advantage, although not necessarily range advantage.
