==Overview:==
This is a direct response to the Clans Nightlord class Battleship. The
rolinstone shipyards were selected for the production of this ship. The lead
ship took 5 years to build, with 1 per year to follow until 12 are built. The
Rolinstone Yards moved 4 habitats out to a rich section of asteroids and went
to work. Several new methods were used for minimg smelting and forming the
ship. These new methods are the primary reason for the lengthy production
time of the first unit. A new vapor-deposition, and nano-smelt/form method
were used for the main structure. These ships are so large that a globular
hull form had to be selected to fit the ship into the largest jumpfield
theoretically generateable. The ship actually is semi-modular with the main
hull riding in a "battleshell". The grav decks in the design sheet are
actually bearing for the whole living section to rotate on, this results in
high crew comfort. The living hull is derotated before battle and jump, of
course.
==Capabilities:==
The ship has thrust that matches the NightLord, but when it comes to weapons
and armor the night lord suffers severely. The Thunderer has many times the
long range firepower of the Night lord with this advantage decreasing to
about double close in. The Thunderer is even up, with 2 aerospace squadrons
and a command lance, with the Nightlords 2 binaries of aerofighters. (15
vs10). The Thunderer carries a full 175 battle armored troopers and 64
marines to counter any boarding actions.
==Battle History:==
The Thunderer has yet to see its first battle, but when simulations are run,
it defeats the Nightlord better than 70% of the time. It also does well
against the projected Ghostbear Leviathans.
==Deployment==
Currently the Thunderer is cruising somewhere in the Homestead March with its
full complement, and carrying 4 Battleaxe and 4 Achilles A5 assault ships
attached to its docking collars. This actually gives the Thunderer 2 more
squadrons of aerospace to call on. the 2 remaining docking collars have a
Mammoth and HPG dropship attached. The ship is currently checking its
endurance and finishing the last of its shaking down.

Here's about 2 hours worth of fiddling. any suggestions? It massacres a Nightlord, but the Ghostbear Leviathan is just plain horrible.
I figure I get 3 or 4 broadsides at long range, then a long dive to just about kill the thing. That means this thing is toast and hopefully another warship can finish out the GB leviathan. I will post it next so you can see what I am talking about. Any tweaks to get it good enough to get the leviathan? I have to do long range, because a single broadside in close from the leviathan damn near takes off all my armor.

==Overview:==
In 3044, Ghost Bear Khans Nornian Tseng and Ursula Jorgensson authorized
the creation of a new class of WarShip. In the grand tradition of their Clan,
they insisted it be the largest WarShip possible, larger than even the massive
McKenna battleship. Bear scientists were eager to take on the challenge, but
after a few years it was clear that the challenge was beyond their ability.
The Ghost Bears then turned to their long-time ally, Clan Snow Raven, for help
in designing the new ship class in exchange for mining rights in their
abundant asteroid fields.
After the Battle of Tukayyid, the Ghost Bear Khans made the monumental
decision to relocate their Clan to the Inner Sphere. One of the major
challenges was how to transport millions of people across a thousand light
years in secret. A solution came in the form of the two partially completed
Leviathan hulls. Though devoid of much of their planned weaponry, both ships
were functional and armored. Khan Jorgensson arranged for the hulls to be
modified to accommodate thousands of tons of cargo rather than weaponry. Each
Leviathan would have the appearance of a fearsome battlecruiser, but would
actually be a large-scale armored transport.
Since the relocation to the Inner Sphere, the Bears’ efforts have turned
to restoring the Leviathans to their planned military configurations. The
Combine assault on Alshain and the ensuring war, however, have put the project
way behind schedule.

Here's the monster. It lives up to its name. I already can survive the 300 fighters with a substitution of some carrier dropboats in place of the supply and hpg boats in the fluff, but look at that firepower! If a Leviathan come into a system, you almost have no choice but to give up! I think I will go thru 2 or 3 Thunderers for every Leviathan, that's steep.

Thunderer: a couple of points:
First, my favorite pet peeve, you have far too little cargo to provide supplies for your fighters. I typically provide at least 200 t of cargo per fighter. (I figure that ought to provide for at least 20 sorties with 5 t of fuel and ammo for each sortie.)
You could get significantly more firepower if you had more NAC's and fewer energy weapons. The Barracuda missile is also interesting since it has a -2 to-hit modifier. I skip AR10's in favor of massive 'cuda batteries.
It's nice if a battleship has at least 700 armor per arc so that it can't be critted. Of course, the only canon vessel that comes anywhere close to this is the Leviathan 2 which means that they automatically fit poorly into the canon universe. (But it is soooo easy to design vessels better than the canon ones.)
I see you are continuing your tradition of lots of docking collars but only a few fighters. Interesting...
No L-F battery? Interesting... A cost issue?

The docking collars allow me to add the cargo for supporting fighters and such. Plug a Mammoth or Behemoth in and you suddenly have plenty of cargo. Weapons get priority on a Warship, docking collars can compensate for the cargo, fighter or other shortfalls. Attach a Titan or Vengeance fighter carrier for fighter hangarage, etc.
I will try the B'cudda trick and see how it works out. Nac's are short range, I would rather cruise by and toast him at a distance than get close and have my armor hacked up so bad that I am out of the fight. I am thinking of wearing him down, and defensive endurance more than sheer firepower.
The L-F battery is 100,000 tons, I would rather put that into weapons. The transports that have to run awat would get the L-F batteries, jump in with escorts into an ambush, jump back out. The sluggers stick around to duke it out. My slugger would have 100,000 more tons of bang than the other guys L-F equipped ships. If he runs, that's good, most likely it will be home for repairs.

==Overview:==
This is a direct response to the Clans Nightlord class Battleship. The
rolinstone shipyards were selected for the production of this ship. The lead
ship took 5 years to build, with 1 per year to follow until 12 are built. The
Rolinstone Yards moved 4 habitats out to a rich section of asteroids and went
to work. Several new methods were used for minimg smelting and forming the
ship. These new methods are the primary reason for the lengthy production
time of the first unit. A new vapor-deposition, and nano-smelt/form method
were used for the main structure. These ships are so large that a globular
hull form had to be selected to fit the ship into the largest jumpfield
theoretically generateable. The ship actually is semi-modular with the main
hull riding in a "battleshell". The grav decks in the design sheet are
actually bearing for the whole living section to rotate on, this results in
high crew comfort. The living hull is derotated before battle and jump, of
course.
==Capabilities:==
The ship has thrust that matches the NightLord, but when it comes to weapons
and armor the night lord suffers severely. The Thunderer has many times the
long range firepower of the Night lord with this advantage decreasing to
about double close in. The Thunderer is even up, with 2 aerospace squadrons
and a command lance, with the Nightlords 2 binaries of aerofighters. (15
vs10). The Thunderer carries a full 175 battle armored troopers and 64
marines to counter any boarding actions.
==Battle History:==
The Thunderer has yet to see its first battle, but when simulations are run,
it defeats the Nightlord better than 70% of the time. It also does well
against the projected Ghostbear Leviathans.
==Deployment==
Currently the Thunderer is cruising somewhere in the Homestead March with its
full complement, and carrying 4 Battleaxe and 4 Achilles A5 assault ships
attached to its docking collars. This actually gives the Thunderer 2 more
squadrons of aerospace to call on. the 2 remaining docking collars have a
Mammoth and HPG dropship attached. The ship is currently checking its
endurance and finishing the last of its shaking down.

I am sure I could drop all but 5 of the docking collars for much more firepower, or SI, but I would rather have the flexibility of their presence.

It's slowly starting to appeal to my tastes more. 
I'd still skip the N-Gauss' though. They have terrible weight-to-firepower ratios and are expensive to boot. The chances of anything other than a Barracuda missile hitting at extreme range are minimal for anything but an elite crew. That's why I go for NAC's. The NAC30 has the best firepower-to-weight ratio of any weapon that can hit at long range. In fact, although I confess it's a bit munchy, my WarShips typically only have NAC30 and Barracuda missiles as capital weapons.
You've improved the cargo situation, but you still only have enough cargo for 6-7 sorties per fighter (using my rough calculations). Carrying a DropShip can provide all the cargo you need, but I wouldn't try to transfer cargo in anything approaching a combat situation. I figure it's better to carry enough for 20 sorties and rendevous with a fleet supply vessel as necessary. (I have a Mammoth I've modified slightly for the purpose.) However, that is really only an issue in a campaign setting and depends on how you view the operational situation.
Your point defense is quite impressive. I don't think I've seen heavy small lasers as point defense before. (I only design IS WarShips myself.) They are truly impressive point defense weapons.

I figured that if the Leviathan carried lots of fighters, I would need lots of close in firepower to finish off those that make it thru the LLas batteries. 300 fighters per leviathan means that ant screen I can carry by Dropboat or internally probably won't hack it.
I could include in the fluff that one of the docking collars was a special design that went directly into the cargo bay, with especially designed doors and cargo handling gear. I might deplete the intenal cargo in combat, but a couple of hours of lull would easily allow for a lot of transfer. Also I tried to double the standard ammo requirements wherever I could for the weapons syatems, lessening the need for a lot of cargo.
I think a lot of cargo in the original designs was more for padding than actual requirements, so that they would have leeway when they made up design rules if the ships proved popular.

Oh, the cargo amounts carried by most canon WarShips (especially the refugees from TR:2750) are ridiculous. However, as I see it you should have at least 4 or 5 thousand tons on the Thunderer. I also use 50 rounds of ammo for per weapon, either standard or capital. The exception being capital missiles where I only use 10-20 per launcher to save mass.
I might also point out that your fighter defenses are about average for most designs, but low by my standards. I would have 32 per arc (every arc) plus point defense (much weaker than yours, 1-8 points of damage depending on the design) plus Barracuda missiles (my 1.8 million t design mounts over 100). The 'cudas would fire at either an enemy WarShip or fighters depending on the situation. I consider 20 points of damage against fighters per arc low - suitable for a corvette.
