Overview
Motherships are part of the class of ships known as Super Capitals and are currently the 2nd largest class of ships in EVE.
Technically, a mothership is carrier class vessel which is however many time larger and much more expensive to build.
In comparison to a typical carrier, a mothership has the following features:
- Has larger cargo, hanger and drone bays
- Cannot be built or docked in stations
- Can equip a Clone Vat
- Deploys 3 additional Fighter Drones per level compared to 1
- Immune to all forms of Electronic Warfare (e.g. ECM, Conventional Warp Disruptors, Stasis Webifers, etc)
- Can only be prevented from jump/going into warp by Interdictor Bubbles and focused warp disruption generators used by Heavy Interdictors
- Able to fit Projected ECM Burst Module
There are 4 types of Mothership, 1 for each of the 4 races
Roles
Although all motherships mainly provide logistical and support roles, the bonuses each of the 4 race motherships allow different areas of specialization.
- Aeons have armor resistance bonuses which allow them to field heavy armor tanks
- Wyverns have shield resistance bonuses which allow them to field heavy shield tanks
- Nyxs have deployed fighter bonuses allowing them provide more firepower to offensive operations while fielding a moderate armor tank
- Hels motherships have their strength as a logistic platform with bonuses to shield/armor remote repair amounts. They are also extremely flexible and are able to field either a modest shield or armor tank
