Summary0006065: Make Motherships LUDICROUSLY expensive
DescriptionBasically, make motherships have a ludicrous resource and energy costs. This is mostly a thematic and lore thing, as the AI does not care about resources or energy. And as there is no way for a humans or an ally to human minor faction to get their hands on one short of cheats or save-game manipulation, these costs mean nothing to us.

It would just look nice, and give the impression that the AI really worked hard to make this, and as such you get a sense of how much the AI is concerned now that they are willing to risk such a big project to take you out.

Though this would make impulse reaction emitters a good choice against them, like polarizers currently are.

Even more of an issue now that Zenith Reprocessors have appeared.

@ArcDM
Won't really do anything, as Reprocessors cannot "reprocess" units into resources if that unit is reclaim immune, which I am pretty sure motherships are ;)

If you reprocess (or reclaim) a mothership it should just say "You Win".

Not that you can, of course.

My mistake, I was thinking you could.
I forgot about the reclaim immune part.
