Sabbing Motherships

[repli**cator]

Being able to sab would ruin the way ms are used now. Whole point of having a large ms is that its harder for smaller ms to take it out, not just come up flying, let off some engineers and run away unharmed. Needs to be massed imo, since only real point people have is it would cost too much, which is the point...

hence why the defenders have to be massed first...
i mean if you can't keep up a defence. .. then why should you be allowed to have a big MS?

Defense already protects income/covert. Why should it need to protect MS too?

MS exists to provide a bonus to attack/defense, not to give defense something else to protect.

Finally, a big MS costs a lot of naq, and without a defense to protect ones income, that likely means a player farmed that naq to build that MS.

Final question, Why shouldn't a player without a defense be allowed to have a big MS?
