For example:
250 mil or less : Weak
251 mill - 500 mill : Poor
501 mill - 750 mill : Unremarkable
751 mill - 1 bill : Strong
1 bill - 1.25 bill : Formidable
1.25 bill - 1.5 bill : Overwhelming
1.5 bill + : Unstoppable

So someone mothership might look like:
Franks mothership 'Son of Frank'
Attack : Poor
Defence : Formidable

So obviously frank has spend alot of naq on his motherships defence and not much on its attack.


Artiglios mothership 'Magic Frog'
Attack : weak
Defence : Formidable

The only problem would be that these rank-groups would have to be readjusted every so often because it won't take long for nearly every mothership to land in the unstoppable category (and still be stoppable for someone who's is waaaaay bigger and also unstoppable).

As soon as you build an idiot proof system, somebody else builds a better idiot.

If it moves, kill it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does move, and then kill it.

Sleipnir - the ranges can certainly be adjusted just giving a wider range for each group, but do you think that will be a big problem?

Surely most motherships will be melted down for scrap when people ascend keeping most motherships below 4 bill total power.?

Or you could just change the mothership rank groups to actually use the Motherships rank:

Rank 1500+ : Weak
Rank 1000-1500 : Poor
Rank 501-1000 : Unremarkable
Rank 101-500 : Strong
Rank 51-100 : Formidable
Rank 11-50 : Overwhelming
Top 10 ranks : Unstoppable

how bout instead of using words to caterorise it use rank numbers

0 - 200 mil rank 1 or level 1
201 - 400 mil rank 2

and so on that way you still get rough idea and being numbers there is no highest mothership level.

I don't like this idea because motherships will gt more power full over time and this would become outdated

i think a number range would be better

Mothership
--------------
Attack 100mil-150mil
Defence 200mil-400mil

the diffence btween the two numbers would depend on the diffence between the covert power of the spys u'r sending in and the opents defence.
