i do like the headless configuration, i mean it's such an obvious target.

Why have all your sensors concentrated in an appendage that can be simply shot or knocked off, when you can just add it low, towards the body where it won't be picked off as easy and be better armoured? Most Zentradi armour reflect that, unless the are wearing the armoured suits.

but anyway, its true, a good design is one that stays consistent, like the Valkyrie plane configuration, although they don't need the atmospheric design anymore, since engine power and anti-gravity mass-dampers are available, a flying brick would work just as well if you want vehicle that can be used in space and on a gravity well.
