I was thinking to build a mothership.
Since it functions like a titan, I suppose it cant dock in stations, which means it prolly cant be build in stations too.
So you need a POS? and what more?

Sov1 AFAIK. All you need is a POS with a CSAA and CSMA (Capital Ship Assembly/Maintenance Array). Sov4 is better though, no risk of your POS being attacked before the Mothership/Titan is finished cooking.
Of course, if nobody in your alliance knows the answer, you're probably not going to be building it any time soon.

If I understand how Sov works, if you hold a POS on every moon in the constellation and have constellation sov, then you are essentially invulnerable in that system yes?
But seriously, more people should have some type of spacer in their sigs to show it's not part of the post.

This. If you don't know don't bother trying. Same goes for just about anything involving capital ships. If you don't already know you aren't ready for one.

A Mothership is totally feasible in a corporation of 100+ active pilots, people like REPO, Veto and other corporations of that caliber could field motherships effectively, be it a limited role.

I think you are confusing a few different mechanics.
System sov - you don't POS on need every moon in the system, just 1 (or 1 more than anyone else). Many systems it is impossible in any practicle sense to control every moon.
System sov goes from sov 1 to sov 3 (normally) based on how long you hold the system.
Constelation sov is based on having sov in 51% of the systems plus 3 stations plus 1 designated sov capital system.
Sov 4 (system capital) is one system that you can designate as sov capital once you have constelation soverenty. You cannot lose system sovenenty in this system until you lose conselation soverenty. Once you lose constelation sov the capital system reverts to sov 3 and can be taken.
Constesting soverenty of constelation takes like 2 weeks after you are in position to do so.
Contesting soverenty of a system takes 1 - 2 downtimes depending on the timing of stront (if taking down towers is key) if not 1 downtime.
The above is probably sort of right, i'm not an expert on sov but there are some guides out there.
As far as I know (and I know very little) you need constelation sov to build supercaps. So you need a fair sized alliance before you even get into the technicalities of the materials and bpo's to build the ships. The ships are built from components, and I think the BPO's are seeded for this.
Of course, if you have the isk, and are willing to front-line any mothership you buy, and you are an active player, you could join an alliance, make these facts plain, along with the fact you will pay for it, and ask them to broker a deal with a friendly superpower, or if they build supercaps themselves they could give you some pointers in what you need to do. However if you own a supercap and aren't willing to use it for the greater good of your alliance then you don't really need one. There are no guarentees in any of this, it is a good starting point though.
You have no chance of laying your hands on one for your own personal one man band in normal situations, although if isk is really no problem to you then anything is possible.
Edit: if you are serious about buying a mothership rather than building one, you could always contact Chribba.

You can rent space from someone to build it (good luck with all the effort involved), or just buy one built by an alliance.

If he doesn't ask, how will he learn?
To the OP, AFAIK get sov in a system and setup a POS. Maybe you lose the MS, maybe won't even get that far. But hey, you're paying for your account so do as you please.

No, all it takes is sov 1 to build both MS and titan.

Plenty of people produce and sell these kind of things, you just need the isk.
Look at our beloved Veldnaught pilot; pretty sure the dudes got a Mothership, and he probably didn't build it himself
