You seem to think the key idea behind not building a Mothership is "Oh god, it's going to be Neural Parasited!" when really it is "Wow, that tech path is really out of the way of my Colluses tech/that thing is super expensive and not very good."

meh. stargates are more or less standart today in pvt/pvz and Ps will find more and more ways to get into lategame with different techs(esp once we have decent maps in a distant future). the real thing thats so annoying is a) the insane (gas) cost of the fleet beacon and b) the very slow speed of the mothership.


cause really its a amazing unit. vortex is insane, so is the cloakinng field and its stats arent that terrible either.

sure i would prefer the arbiter over the mothership any day. but the units power and cost is really ok.

Honestly, I fear it more if my collosus OR High templar get neutral Parasited than some mothership that does 6x8 damage and likely wont have the energy for a vortex or Mass recall,

Not necessarily. I've broken my norm, and have been watching a lot of streams lately, most notably qxc's, and Carriers are a regular, if not standard late game occurrence. Occasionally they're even seen on two base. So if you're going to carriers, which seems reasonable against any tank based macro Terran, you might as well buy the mothership at some point in the game.

I think it is completely balanced every single unit can be NPed so for toss the answer to this is just not get a mothership when infestors are out

For infinity time too, it'll never run out, just like the original cloak of the mothership field.... oh wait.
I always try to shield slam face, just to make sure it doesnt work

Due to the rarity of mothership, i think they should be immune
