| Summary | 0000111: Mothership | ||||
| Description | First off awesome job so far on the game it's really enjoyable to my group of friends. This is just a rough summarization of a MotherShip but hopefully peaks your interest for down the line DLC. The MotherShip would be in a bigger class than starship because it can basically support a frontline fleet or mobile fleet with the ability to construct small class ships (and maybe engineer 1 type repair) but on the down side is the length to build (roughly 7+ hours without engineer help), the fact that you have to capture an advance research to gain the ability to even make them and maybe even make a new building that you have to build or capture that also cost a lot of resource. Also the MotherShip would have a substancial metal/crystal/energy penalty since it would infact be a moving base. Lastly you can only have one, because with the huge metal/crystal drain it would seem unreasonable to allow more than one. As far as ability to attack, i'd probably go with a non-attacking mothership to start because the ability of mobility and construction of ships should insure it's foothold in an area without weapons. As far a vunerabilities, i'd go with weak vs. bombers and missles because after all it is a giant ship so bombers and misslescraft would be able to damage the critical systems (i.e. disable the engines or the docking bay so they can't construct) Like I said that's just a rough summarization of the MotherShip, and of course will need some balancing and further brainstorming for it, but hopefully it'll get a ball rolling somewhere on the idea of a ship this class.
