mothership

----- carries aircraft and ground units -----

Point Value: 1

Notes:
Mother ship. Expensive to build, but the only way to mount a major invasion. A mother ship can carry lots of saucers, lots of ground units, a couple Defenders and a constructor, all at once. (The constructor is useful for building stepping stone bases toward the enemy.) A mass attack is sure to bring down a mother ship, so it deserves saucer patrols--but you may have to forego patrols if you're trying for a surprise invasion.
