So, the idea is pretty simple i dont know if this has come up yet though.
Currently Motherships are considered ineffective and unusefull, they are more or less pimped carriers whith which you have to sacrifice a char.
As some basic values lets say it had:
- 2 Manufacturing Slots(0.765x Speed Factor; 1.1 Mineral Cost Factor)
- 3 Research Slots which can be either used as copying/inventing/M.E./P.E.
with (0.65 Speed Factor).
This would give it the ability to produce for example Cap Booster at the frontline in a Battle and resupply the fleet if needed, and when in peace being able to help with BPO's/BPC's at higher speed.
It's described as a Logistic
and therefore since it cannot be docked/repackaged there wouldnt be to much problem with the DB when this would be applied to something not static.
This should make Motherships more useful and also give them a better explanation of the name "Mother" by being able to supply/help everyone in everyday's needs, and not just something that sits and rotts at a POS the most of the time.

I dont see JC's being used that much, and Motherships have nothing to do with jump bridges.

The only concern would be how to deal with production runs finishing while the player is offline. The simplest way would be to fail the production run / research on logout, but not exactly a fair one since they can take some time. Alternatively could allow production runs finish even while offline. No idea how the game engine deals with this, however.
I would see it just like in stations, if the job finishes the player has to go under Manufacturing & Research job and deliver.
It seldomly happens that a player leaves the Mothership(high risk of getting stolen). And jobs can only be started and finished while in the ship.
