The front DOES look a bit much like a car.
And that is ok. It's supposed to be fairly aerodynamic.
In other news, it looks like the mech won't be a rideable vehicle, due to vehicles not being able to jet. However, I am looking into fixing this, and having a system that allows the player to click on the mech and mount a mech bot, giving the player control of the mech itself. When the player dismounts (via command), they will be given control of their own body back.
Correction: It will still be a vehicle, but control like a playertype.
