The original Mother Ship, due to its need to accommodate a large population, possessed various non-military functions, which made it somewhat cumbersome in battle.
When the conflict with the Apollo Civilization erupted, people realized this flaw. Where civil and military uses were combined, if a battle led to the destruction of a Mother Ship, too many common people died!
However, in that situation, there was no time for improvements.
But after future modifications, these kinds of flaws would basically cease to exist.
After acquiring a War Star, society even developed new consumer desires, specifically for... larger and better houses, especially those averaging more than 50 square meters per person.
