A base that would really be fought over! Vanu capital Ships

I'd like to see a hidden Vanu capital ship on each continent, it regularly vanishes and reappears somewhere else. It'd be cool because it's like a mobile base. The CC is based in four parts of the ship, each LLU must be taken to a different friendly base, even if it's off the continent. Once this is done, the ship belongs to that empire. Inside the ship are several ancient Vanu things. There are of course spawn tubes that were put into the ships, but also organic tanks and stuff. On top it has landing pads and a few anti air turrets (heat seeking missles). Inside there's the cockpit, where the ship can be driven from. On the bottom there are drop pods where it has a downward camera and a little target thingie to tell you exactly where you'll drop at. The tanks are just hunks of blue tissue that require a medic with stim packs to build them. They have 4 gun slots, on on each side that can turn the full area in front of it, 180 degrees, and the driver obviously. The tanks are organic, so the turrets can move very quickly as they are not restricted by metal. The tanks take about half a minute of stim packs administered, then two minutes to finish growing. 15 minutes without any occupants and it goes neutral, and it uses NTUs as fuel. It needs to be refueled every now and then, but not as much as bases, nowhere near as much. For this purpose it has a refueling plane. It flies to a warpgate, loads up on NTUs, then the plane docks, the driver gets out and deploys it, and these tubes shoot out of the pad and start sucking it dry, absorbing the whole vehicle.

This would probably need an expanison pack, but there's no denying it'd be freakin awesome.

Post your ideas on this.

Let them get platoons in first.

prolly won't happen - too much coding, but it's a really good idea! With the AA guns on top, you could be tactically swift and attack it from below

. It'd be something like an Aircraft carrier from BF1942 with tanks and stuff in it. What'd be the point of drop pods when you can just jump off the top with the kinetic dampeners? How would you get the tanks down? Drive off? Probably. Still, good idea, would like to see it ingame. Althought don't make it too uber.

If i must:

But serious that was kinda pirckish of me, I dont know about the ships being operational (too much coding) but ruins or bunt out husks of them with some sort of modern research facility overlaping/merged with them whould be cool. Possibly even expansion worthy.
