What about having a large construction ship. Larger than the aegeon but only 4 turrets an the ability to use resources to build extra defensive turrets. Possible have it build mining stations and repair stations and stuff limited to one construction ship like the aegeon.

So like a huge moving space base?? Interesting idea but that would render the mother ship useless/null

No mother ship still command vessel. And can attack etc. make "base" defensive only

Seems kinda like the 3 base option from Command and Conquer 4 Tiberium Twilight. Interesting idea though. Be useful to build mining stations instead of having to keep buying or wasting space on OreMasters. Building or replacing turrets would be nice to if you lose some on a ship or something.

Thought the construction ship could be really slow. Have a mission where you have to establish a base or something so defensive turrets, power station, a headquarters/base, shipyard and such. I know it would take a while. But adds more variation rather than having to defend the escape pods have a fully functioning base.

The idea is really cool. The problem is just the amount of work that would be required to make a ship like that and also how the game would be affected in general by a change of this magnitude. Perhaps we could introduce a new utility class ship which can do some of these things -OR- add new abilities to the mothership gradually, after all the mothership should be the base of all operations.

I was just looking through really old featured request, and I thought I would revive this idea. It is very interesting. @space Boarders, I really liked your compromise to the constrictive ship's size to a smaller utility ship.
This ship should be able to fit in the mothership's main hanger.
(My Opinion) Abilities this ship should have. - General healing ability. - Turret platform construction. (If this ship is on the field, it can allow you to build more than three turret platforms, and you can choose different turrets for the platform. (Lazer, machine gun, rocket, flack, anti matter, and healing) - Only one defensive turret. Maybe a mini gun. (This ship should be well guarded by Centaurs)
