Good day Space folks!

With the advant of the summer expansion being an Empire Theme i feel that it is our duty as pod pilots to demand the return of the Mothership!

No No NO I do not mean turning Super-Carriers back into the neutered MOMS of old. I am requesting no Pleading for a Real Mothership!

Something 4 times the size of a titan!

But fuk! what will this new ship of yours do?
will it have purpose?!?!?!

Fear not dear reader for this has already been thought of!

what is a Mothership and what does it do?

Ever watched Indepence Day?

Then now you know what a Mother Ship is.

The Mothership will be the following:

1. Gigantic
2. Destructable
3. have a medical clone bay (like a stations!)
4. be anchorable
5. have an immense SMA!
6. can only jump once per day (takes an hour just for the jump drive to warm up)
7. no fittings!
8. No weapon systems.

Quote:

the use i could see from it is in a big fight you loose ships and need to refit and usually as a defender you have an advantage because you can reship rather easy and get back into the fight.

what this would allow you to do is cyno in a mom at a safe spot and anchor it and then activate the clone bay and then when you die or get podded you wake up in your pod next to the mom and then access the sma and jump in a new ship and continue to fight.
At the end of the game both the pawn and the Queen go in the same box.

I don't like it. Just make a T2 Titan that can fit siege modules and hence do 150,000 dps (siege module should affect DD too). Oh and of course it should have T2 resists and extra jump range.

Sounds like you're basically talking about a moveable station. Didn't deep space nine have the capacity to move? I vaguely remember an episode where it activates it's thrusters.

You've taken a station and a pos and added a jump drive/engines. It doesn't sound all that practical. I will admit that it possibly could be in practice, but I honestly don't think so.

and why do you suppose its not usefull?

a ship that basically turns into a destrucable station that can jump a large armount of ships and have a working clone bay?

how cant you find use it in?

CCP have always said they want to bring back the MOM if a good idea came about it...

soo good sir if they MOM was to return how would you like to see it?

yeah pretty much but it will be different then an outpost as i feel they should not be destructable but i think a mom should be.

though it would be more what teh thukker tribe live out of giant mobile cities in space...

Now, I love big ships as much as the next guy, but this doesn't seem like it'd be useful enough to justify. I assume that something 4x the size of a titan would cost 2-4 times as much to build. So we're talking, what, ~300 bil and a few months to build. What does it do that a Jump Freighter can't do in less time for less money?

I do not suppose it, I know it is unnecessary. It will get abused to hide huge amounts of assets from enemies. And when it is found and it is destroyed do hundreds if not thousands of players lose it all. It is a massively stupid and hard sucking feature.

We do not need "flying castles" and Barbie Houses in EVE.

Titans then can already jump fleets and we do have stations.

I am guessing you are probably drunk anyway and me posting here is a stupid idea of its own.

Screw that... I want a "Death Star" class player built and owned Outpost/Station.

Has to be perfectly spherical, must look like a small moon to the unexperienced, and it must be mobile.

Might be nice to be able to dock a titan in one, too.

And, of course, must be prone to every cliche in the book.

1. not drunk but bored at work

2. your assumption is that its stupid which is your opionion but not a correct one.

3. what happened to you dude you used to be cool. now you are just a bitter old dude.

4. there would be a hard cap on the sma so the amount of assests is limted.

5. there would not be 100 of thousands of people loosing it all... plus if you use it and loose it its a risk just like everything else in eve... cant afford to loose it then dont fly it.

6. i would love a flying castle... and space barbies are on the back burner...

7. are you the drunk one m8 cuss tyou are usually not this hostile.
