Why a PPC? Well, so she can harass forces at range, even with her escort force. Takes up less space than a railgun, even if the projectiles aren't quite as long-ranged. No need for ammunition, and gives her a support mechanism. I'm seeing Eclipse as being more suited to operate further forward than Arkos, due to her radar jammers, but they haven't always been totally functional, so a method to defend herself if her escorts are drawn away is just a concession I'm seeing. Arkos has always been more direct, and her crew is comfortable with front-line action, while the Eclipse seems to be suited to carry reconnaissance forces. I'll pass that on to the techs, see if they've got any specifications to work with.

Eh, my technicians were hasty, and one decided that the ship wasn't worth any major attention. Another note is that the Bumblebee appears to be in difficulty, so salvage crews are prepared for the worst.
