Am I the only one concerned that 2 CIMS seems to be major overkill for an arm in this game? If you really need 2 CIMS for driving an arm then I think your gear ratrios are way out of whack. Either that or you have a really unusual arm design.

A single FP should be more than enough for a reasonable arm this year. SO even if you get your Jaguar connected I still forsee problems down the road.
