I would like to to discuss the idea of new ship type.
Very slow ship with great stats. Has a tethering (or shield like POS) Relocation of such ship to another system can be done only by repackaging (3 parts by 500 000 m3 each) and only at freighter.
Priority task: Protection of ships and system from numerous enemies. (will help small alliance to defend their space from huge fleets)
Super capital T2 hull / armor / shied 1 000 000 / 1 000 000 / 1 000 000 T2 resists Electronic Resistance - 50% Maximum velocity - 30 m/sec Ship warp speed - 0.25 AU/s Can't use gates Can't use bridges Don't have a jump drive Can fit racial DD Fighter hangar capacity 200 000 m3
Price about 300b

Sounds a bit like a flying astrahaus, how would you see this improving on that? Is it just the lack of an anchoring timer that is the benefit? Or is it just a tasty killmail in the offing? With the lack of reinforcement timers to make it extra easy?
I am trying to see why anyone would make a reasonable choice to use one.
I do see however it would become a very popular thing to shoot, and that might lead to large fights, but it really is a massive cost to be bait.
But admittedly, the idea of a flying death city would be pretty awesome. |

I see such thing as a possibility to escalate PVP to the top level. Such ship will defend the fleet for a long time until the enemy gather enough capital forces to break through. The possibility of new B-R fight will be higher.

If it's in a similar sort of price range to a keepstar, why do you think it's going to help small groups?
How does relocation of these things work? Where can you reassemble them, and how long does that take? (Do bear in mind that it would be ludicrously simple to titan bridge freighters with these things inside to wherever you need to use them) |

Well at least even Caldari master cargo hold freighter race can't just JF it.

I think that such ship can be used only at 0.0 space (maybe low-sec) You will need 3 freighters to deliver such thing and any XL structure to assemble. Such ship must be used only for defense.
I think that in 0.0 sec a lot of corporations have a lot of money but don't have a lot of people. Just as there are many mercenaries who want to have a good fight. Such ship can give time for small corporations to call for help and equalize chances from both sides. Nothing more. |

So your target "small" corp/alliance have XL structure deployed but need help protecting their space? |

I don't think you realise what would happen to a small group using a ship like this.
If the small group puts up a keepstar, they have multiple timers across about a week to call in their mates and defend themselves. If they log this ship in, they are painting a giant PL PLEASE BRING YOUR SUPERS HERE target right across their faces, and will lose their somewhat ludicrous investment about five minutes after the first dread cynos in.
Wheras, a BIG group can simply build a couple and ferry them around with titans and charons (Two charons if the parts are 500k. Those things go up to 1.2 mil m3) to wherever they happen to be needed. And since a sotiyo is half the cost of a titan, it's really not going to be hard to reassemble them wherever they're needed either. |

I know a lot of small corps (about 20 people and 100 chars) who have 20+ supers and 5 titans but they can't do anything against 50 slepnirs. Few of them even even own a Keepstar. Also I know a lot of people who decided not to use supers just because they can't defend them. All of them has trillion isks at wallet. Without such ship these isk will be at these wallets, but better to give them an opportunity to use these isks.
Building a Sotio at hostile space will generate a timer, at which friends will come :) |

If they can't defend twenty supers against fifty sleips, why do you think they will be able to defend one of these big ships against fifty titans? |

...No, they can't, because they will not have time to get an equivalent supercapital fleet into their system to save this thing before it is dead.
And who even cares about ratting supers? They are not a part of this discussion. Or is the point of this mobile station that it makes for a wonderful ratting boat in the few hours before someone shows up to kill it? |

If they can't - they do not need it. But who can.... Just give them 30min for that. |

maybe if it was actually quite inexpensive, but there was only one per system and it requires a territorial control station to operate. |
