Haven't had much time lately but some of the people I design ships for were complaining about the Taihau PWS that someone had copied from MegaMek. Turned out that three of the Taihau had taken out three Arondights in two fire phases and then decimaed a full aerofighter wing. It had taken another wing and fire from the armed transport to destroy these monsters.
I looked up the Titan CV because it was the same tonnage then gutted it and put in as many Heavy SCC as I could will increasing the armour and loading a powerful battery of standard weapons. I did three different versions and fluffed them as one off prototypes and am posting them here for some feed back on them. Personally I would prefer PWS be limited to around the size of the Overlord A5 and certainly no heavier than ten thousand tons but looking at the TRO's these designs are here to stay.

==Overview:==
Shaken by the loss of three Arondight PWS at the Devil's Den the AFFS quicky
acted and using the old Titan CV design as a base used it to build a PWS
similar to the Taihou.
Three different prototype craft have been built and after a series of tests
have been sent on operations for battle-trials.
