One of the main reasons for Starcraft's "Masterpiece" status is the fact that all three races were absolutely different in terms of gameplay and behavior, and aside of resources, have little in common.
Different technological development styles, completely different building management and unit production, and aside of minimal parallelism, there wasn't much in common in terms of unit behavior.

Now, the mothership, is clearly a very special unit, which causes great balance concerns.
But from my experience, I am 90% sure that niether Zerg nor Terran will get a similar unit, due to the simple fact, that it doesn't need balancing via another mega-unit. Just like the Terran Nukes never needed balancing via some mega-spell - the mechanics of the game took care of that.

So what do you think - What will happen to the Protoss Mothership ?

IMO Blizzard has created the mothership in response to other specialties in the other races, in that case we should wait and see some more info on the other races before we decide the fate of the mothership

Agreed. Give us some new info, Blizzard!

Thats true, terran do have their nukes. And now protoss has a mothership, I think that we can expect some special unit in zerg that will meet the other two in equal power. Then again, zerg was always about massing and less about abilities.

Well, now that they've essentially nerfed all the cool stuff out of the mothership, it can't really do much. Even the original mothership, I believe wasn't too powerful. It had, as I recalled less than 1000 shield + hull and special weapons that took up massive amounts of energy. The only reason it seemed too powerful in the original video was that it had a cheated fast energy regeneration. Now that it has almost nothing, a couple Thor's could probably easily take it out. In it's now weakened state, I doubt anyone will even want to spend the resources to make one.

I think that i was too powerfull in the movie, and now like it its now i dont think its so overpowered.
I love it just like it is now

I just don't see how the black hole ability could not end up in the final game.

ok so... heres what i think... i myself am a terran/toss player i can run either equally... basically in sc they had their mind control as a primary defence besides units and cannons though the cannons could easily be destroyed... and as you see the scraped mind control as of right now... so their main force woulda been either massive air or massive ground... and due to terrans overpowered units like thor, battlecruiser, and just the mix i think its harder to run ground offensive... and by the looks of it... their air is going to be harder to run with... but myself was the ground guy but i took to air ocassionally and i have to say i thought the mothership was bad ass in a good way... it was a way to balance things out.. but because they took out black hole and time bomb its no longer nearly effective because its had its right arm chopped off... if you look at it... it was A slow B weakish C took awhile to recharge mana... so if you look at it... it was a ship that required time to restore.. and needed support from other ships... but no they nerf the crap out of it.. i think if they wanted to nerf it they shoulda just made a limit of one... like if you have one you cant build another one till it dies... or nerf the black hole to teleporting units instead of killing them... but what they did just pissed me off.... especially as of now even in alpha stage cause ive yet to see balance between toss and terran
