"mothership" idea expanded.

March 5, 2003 2:30 AM from

I was reading about the idea of a mothership as a last surviving colony ship type deal.. and I kind of feel this was homeworld inspired but let me toss something out to perhaps expand on this.

What if this could be a buildable colony that would actually act as a mobile planet? The cost for something this big would probably be absurb. maybe more than a terror star but having a mobile manufacturing center might be interesting. Maybe it can pick up resources of some sort to use for manufacturing or perhaps be advanced enough to turn sunlight energy into materials heh. who knows, just thinkin.

Hmm, kinda like in Titan A.E.? A ship designed with the brute force neccassery to remake an entire planet into a gaia type for that race???

No, think a mobile colony thats self sufficient and a production base. The ability to build a planet thats a mobile field base.. Like a terror star but able to produce ships and hold population. Yes this would cost a terrible amount to construct.
