A one-episode parody of mecha space-carrier

The spaceship treat the mecha(s) as if they were famous performers.
80% of the spaceship is the catapult & corridors for mecha plus light show, being a warship is an afterthought
Linked to the catapult by an elevator, a hangar closer to a mechanized manicure room with mecha reclining seat, applying paint and shine to the mecha.

You know how spaceship bridge have huge windows to the outside?
This one have windows on the INSIDE too, so the MECH can actually SEE OUTSIDE through both, (plus the sexy bridge bunny). The captain is on a shitty seat out of the way
There is no crew corridor in the ship without direct sight to be marveled as the mecha move by.
In fact sometime you need to go through airlock out, then in again, just for that.

A typical launch would be like this:
>Captain curse about the shitty ship weapon not being enough, and pretend the mecha was only a last card to glorify it. Give order but the one in charge is the underage pilot
>The bridge bunny go through a sequence of card validation, emergency glass breaking, synchronized key turn, pole dancing
>Mechanics run around the mecha doing procedures that look like musical shows.
>The mecha is moved closer to the bridge/windows so it can see outside (eyes light up).
>It's then lowered to the catapult on a pointlessly rotating elevator.
>New tailor arms appear to "dress it up", adding colorful armor and accessory, bringing out entire gun rack so the mecha can chose himself.
>5mn long showy catapulting scene
>Outside the mecha do an areal show with several 180° turn, using extra rocket booster, discarding them in a sophisticated dance until he deploy its wing.
10mn later the mecha is outside and ready.

That's ok because the enemy also do a 20mn choregraphy to assemble a fleet of space-limb ships into a slow & clunky giant mecha.

Then a gritty military warship come by, captain push a button, kill them all, proper design win the day.
