==Overview:==

  For years unstable Lord Jonathan Cameron devoted vast Star League Defense
Force (SLDF) resources towards automated space defense systems which helped
the League’s focus of fortifying Hegemony worlds. Mother Jocasta Cameron
assumed most of the first Lord’s duties in 2734 and, in response to the
increase of the Star League Member States militaries, issued the New Arms
Order of 2735 which would help the SLDF maintain its superiority with new
ships and weapons. Before Jocasta Cameron took control of the finances, Lord
Cameron embarked on a number of automated space defense projects, including
one code named Charon. It is thought that the fearsome machine was named after
the ferryman in Terran Greek mythology who carried the newly arrived dead
across the river Styx to the world of the dead.

  The Charon is an automated warship designed to take on an entire fleet if
necessary. The automation was made possible through the installation of a
prototype artificial intelligence (AI) system which enables the ship to
conduct maintenance and perform repairs via small robots. The interior is
heavily compartmentalized and defended by robots and weapon turrets with a
layout similar to a conventional Warship. The automated systems and robots
taking up the rough equivalent in tonnage and requirements of a normal crew.

 
  The Charon prototype automated warship can perform any of the functions,
including a KF Jump, that a manned warship is capable of. The design has two
main weaknesses. The first is its ammunition dependence. When the Charon runs
out of missiles, its energy backup weapons are woefully inadequate for a ship
of its size. The second is its actions are limited to its programming. All of
the ships systems are heavily shielded against ECM type effects and, for
security reasons, its programming can only be altered by boarding the vessel.
There may be emergency situations where the Charon could be used elsewhere and
an intelligent enemy may be able to predict and exploit the design's
behavioral patterns.
 

  Due to secrecy and the awesome destructive power of the design, it was built
and supposed to be tested on an asteroid approximately 16 parsecs Coreward of
Hood IV. The testing facility was essentially a space dock housed in an
asteroid which would make it very difficult to detect. When the Charon began
its testing, it went berserk, and disappeared after destroying the testing
facility and a SLDF Cruiser.

Sigh.  2.5 million tons, 6,000 tons of the best armor available, multiple AMS bays in an era that virtually nothing mounted AMS, just 1 docking collar, only 25,000 tons of cargo space (technically spare parts, but that's all, folks!), and (of course) it is automated!  Except unlike the canon Caspers, this one can perform an independent KF Jump!

Oh, and becomes the first WarShip to ever mount an HPG (beating the Clans by several centuries!!).

Seriously, man?

  Why is it there are so many complaints about things like 2,500,000 ton Warships and 100 ton 'Mechs compared to 100,000 ton Warships and 20 ton 'Mechs? I'm sure the answer is quite revealing...

Well that's easy, you have founded munchkin industries.  There is no style, no realism, no attempt to bring depth, other than overwhelming perfection in taking advantage of the rules to create uber units.

If you want to impress us, build a 450 000 ton destroyer, where you have only standard equipment and cant use more than 8 of any 1 type of naval weapon and no more than 3 of any single caliber.

If it's an automated Warship why do you have over 1500 crew and 900 days supplies and no automation equipment?

Also would need to be lvl 3 tech i believe.
