Well now I am confused. You are both right...
The ship is too slow to be part of a formation, but on the other hand making it as fast as the mothership (which is the only way to make it suitable as a wingman), will make it totally unrealistic.
Maybe we should make it a bit faster than it is now and slower than the mothership (like derezz619 suggested). The ultimate power should come from its super weapon (powerful, anti-capital, long range, long reload time).

True. Is it going to have separate fire commands like the Nuke Centaur? Have the automated turrets but then have the special turret(S) have it's own fire command and frequency?

Hmm what are the stats of the Aegaeon anyway? I don't have it so I don't know

Well... it's really heavy and really slow  The weight is like 11 million metric tons and the speed currently is 7.5 meters per second i think.

haha. I believe its 100000. I'm sure it has more HP than the Titan which is at 30000.

You probably mixed up the numbers a little.  Hydra: 6K Cerberus: 10K Aegaeon: 32K Titan: 10K Odysseus: 4-10K Alien mothership: 100K I will add these numbers in the next version.

A min would be way to long and having no power to wepon and Engines renders the ship useless as a lead ship

well if you have the power cut to the whole ship during a firing of the main gun, then the million dollars and all that time spent farming resources would have been for nothing. Yes that ship is a beast when it comes to HP but faced against 2 battlecruisers and a few smaller ships, then that HP is useless. Most likely the single force fire function would work the same as the Nuke Centaur.

possibly still be able to fire maybe 3 small weapons which can be changed. until recharged when all small weapons can be fired

Why would cruise engines work when normal engines don't? How would that even work?
Also, 3 nukes? Majorly overpowered.

Heh. I'm still liking the Rail-Gun anti-ship or Ion Cannon weapon idea.

I think a turret that could fire a swarm of long range missles would be cool. That could help take out a large mass of smaller weaker units and it wouldn't be over powered. Also it could prove strong in close quarters since the missles have less spread so they would impact one target.

That is a very good idea. Cluster missiles.
