What I mean is that MsC energy in LotV should be used towards something macro related. What it is doesn't really matter. But let's just say as an example that it can target an assimilator for 50 energy which for 40 seconds then is overcharged. Probes will mine 5 gas instead of 4 from it.

Now obviously the game will then be balanced around the idea that Protoss needs this extra gas in the same way Terran needs mules, and here's why I think it's a good idea:

- Baiting photon overcharge will actually hurt. You baited an overcharge? You deprived gas income, much like forcing a scan it actually costs something. Currently the core is often hovering at 200 energy doing nothing.

- At 50 energy, it costs less than photon overcharge/timewarp, this means that an attack must be anticipated to be defended by it. You have to save your gas-mules if you anticipate an attack to be totally save and cut opportunity cost, the mothership core will only save you if you were mindful enough to anticipate it.

- Bringing the mothership core along with your army will deprive your gas income now. If you want a recall/timewarp you're basically paying gas-income
