Several minutes later they were in the cockpit of the Blue Midget, that they had dubbed the "Flying Circus", since without its gyros, it ran with a silly walk, even without any assistance from Mk.7. The secondary reason is somewhat obvious.

Blue Midget
This cute little space transport is perfect for ship-to-surface travel. It walks on two legs, allowing it to step it's way over extremely rough terrain with much more ease than most vehicles with wheels. The Blue Midget is a lot more compact than the Starbug, and can fit four people comfortably, or possibly six if people don't mind sitting on other people's laps. Blue Midgets are people transports, so only have limited room in the cargo hold for equipment, but this isn't normally a problem unless people bring a lot of crap or fill it with coolers of beer.
The Blue Midget was never designed to carry weapons, but over the years it has become necessary for the small ship to be equipped with rudimentary laser cannons, bazukoid missiles or gattling guns.
The small ship can't take too much punishment from enemy assaults, and the walking mechanism can get easily broken. Most of the Blue Midgets assigned to the Blue Dwarf walk with some kind of a limp.
On the bright side, these ships are pretty cheap and disposable. Crewmembers crash them all the time but they are easily replaced. In fact, it's best if you crash lots at once so we can buy replacements in bulk.
