=== Mothership sightings ===

The mothership site can occur as early as within the first {{co|lightgreen|established}} stage; all that is needed is that the influence falls to 0% and a single headquarters site is run. Once the mothership has been sighted, the incursion can be ended by destroying the mothership at any time. ~~As such~~, there is no guaranteed longevity ~~for incursions~~, other than the brief period before the mothership site is unlocked (which can be mere hours).

The mothership site can occur as early as within the first {{co|lightgreen|established}} stage; all that is needed is that the influence falls to 0% and a single headquarters site is run. Once the mothership has been sighted, the incursion can be ended by destroying the mothership at any time. However, in high and low security space, there is an additional period in the beginning of a focus wherein the mothership can not spawn. In high security space, the duration is three days. In low security, it is one day. This means that a focus in empire space can be guaranteed to last for as long as those periods, while those in null security space have no guaranteed longevity, other than the brief period before the mothership site is unlocked (which can be mere hours).

The mothership mechanic gives players some control over when incursions end. The different groups who run incursions don't always agree on what is the most desirable timing.
