Unfortunately they don't exist.

The M0's were referenced in the game plot a few times over the versions.

But the player has never had the ability to own one.

kinda pointless to have one they only can attack planets proably have fighter support though ie hanger

I always though a mothership should be something like a moving equipment dock, where you can change equipment, repair ship, fuel it up, etc., and dock a couple of m6`s, that would be nice.

Thats why they eventually did the PHQ.

People generally only wanted motherships because the game didnt have a decent HQ.

X2-Eliah> I know the Xtended mod (check the scripts and modding section for a topic on it) has what you were just describing I beleive

unfortunately, its not out yet, but we're all waiting

Well, he did say a mobile HQ, which the player HQ is not.
The one that a mobile will give is the impression of something like the galactica. A ship that can carry all you need to where you need it, rather than, having to send a whole fleet, back to you PHQ, for refit.
Due to the complexity of that operation, a simply mobile homebase would go along way to easing that.
Of course the PHQ is a great thing, and is fine as it is, but that added freedom that you could get from a mobile base, would certainly enhance the game.
The only thing I would say is that it should have a massive energy requirment to jump large distances. Or you will really take away the immersion. There are already carriers to jump your large fleets of ships, but they don`t have an ability to refit your ships for the different encounters.
