Since any scifi story, game, movie, book etc is totally boring without appearance of Mothership, what will be the new Mothership since you are renaming current motherships as supercarriers?
Will the new mothership be mobile station with massive defence capabilities?

Your logic is flawed. The presence of a vessel called "Mothership" does not by its sheer existence make a setting good, nor does its absence render a setting dull. -----

CCP said that they want to make EVE as the best sci-fi expierence there is. Without having a mothership, that's impossible!

By your own logic, I'd assume you would be perfectly satisfied if they renamed Titans to Motherships, then. -----

Really? Oh lord, does that mean EvE will die if we don't have motherships?
Please say it aint so!

Supercarrier build cost - 10-12 bil (For mins) Titan Build cost 40-45 Bil (For Mins) Mothership... lets see..
Titans are about 4 times as much as Supercarriers. So how much more would a new class called Mothership cost?
They'd have to give you capabilites greater then any of the other ships.
Maybe try for a target of 4x the cost of a Titan = 4x40= 160 bil isk(Min cost), with BPO's and other associated costs, lets round it up to say 200 Bil isk build cost, sell for 250 Bil. Sounds about right...
I don't see this happening any time soon.

When Titans came out with RMR, 40B was worth what 160B is now... I think it's about time for a mothership!

Was that a game or a well known piece of sci fi fiction, which is where the OP is drawing his inspiration from?
Besides, EvE motherships aren't motherships in the way that you often see in sci fi fiction. I'm sure when carriers and motherships were first introduced people had a bit of a different idea what they would be like.

If you watch the portion of the dev interview in the tourney where seleene and the bicycle accident guy are talking about the change it does leave you with the thought that there may be a replacement for the nomer 'mothership' coming in the future. Maybe I'm just hoping, but it does seem odd to go through the effort of changing the name of a ship class that was pretty much named by the community anyway. As far as I've noticed 'Mothership' doesn't appear anywher in any of the descriptions or ingame text. As far as the ingame info seems to go they are just tier 2 carriers.

no, you must be able to dock in motherships. i want station environment
CCP tried that for Titans (which were originally going to be mobile stations), it did naughty things to the database, so the database got a restraining order against it.
The database is not designed to have a player inside a player owned object and falls over. There at least one Dev post somewhere about this, it explains that happened. Macrointel, the place were the nature order of the universe does not hold sway. Pirates and ore thief's are congratulated by carebears for the actions. |

Why not hire a database programmer so that this does not happen then???
