These days, necron vehicles seem to be piloted by 'crons that are hardwired into the machinery, but what about prior to biotransferrence? Would the open designs of things like anhilation barges have made any sense prior to the pilots being made of living metal? Presumably they did have piloted vehicles because otherwise it seems odd to step backwards into having them post-transferrerence, and conceivably it might have been more effort that it was worth to purge every necrontyr era vehicle from existence after biotransferrence. So are there potentially necrontyr tech vehicles laying around somewhere that don't require their pilots be fused to their seats? Any thoughts on how those designs might look for flesh and blood pilots/passengers? Something like a ghost ark, for instance, doesn't seem to make nearly as much sense when you can't (comfortably) dangle all your passengers from robot maintenance hooks.
