From Sarna:

Unfortunately early models of the Vindicator suffered from a design flaw wherein the head-mounted laser created a bulge in the cockpit. More than making the space cramped for tall MechWarriors, it also interfered with the ejection propulsion system, resulting in the deaths of a number of MechWarriors when their escape pods exploded during ejection.

Well? Does it have the bulge?

Well, the mech currently has a reputation for getting blown up quickly, although most people report CT deaths rather than cockpit deaths.

No, actually first thing I checked when I dropped, it doesn't intrude significantly into the ockpit.

(Okay, just looked around the cockpit in general, what is that text directly in front of you in the cockpit, anybody able to read it fully?)

Well premature explosion is the price you gotta pay for bulging cockpits.
