Mothership (Tank)

The Mothership is a Tier 5 Tank upgrading from the Stovepipe, the Master, the Overlord and the Hurricane at level 60.

History
The Mothership is one of the oldest tanks Arras.io. In fact, it was already in Diep.io, but not at a "regular" playable tank. There could be only one of a team of all the game and only could be controlled at a specific gamemode. In Arras.io too, the Mothership wasn't playable and probably wasn't even in the game.

Design
The Mothership has a hexadecagonal body, and not a circle one as it could look like. There is one small spawner on each side of the tank.

Technical
The Mothership will shoot swarms clockwise, 25 being controllable with E or left click, but 15 will be automatic no matter what you do. The Mothership has good reload but the swarms inflicts very low damage. Finally, the Mothership has a kinda normal speed.

Upgrades
The Mothership upgrades from Stovepipe, Master, Overlord, and Hurricane at level 60. As a Tier 5 tank, it cannot upgrade any further.

As the Mothership

 * As there are some drones that always stay around you, use them like shields while you attack the opponents with the controllable ones.
 * Your swarms are useless alone. It is obvious you then have to use all the swarms at once. But do not approach the tanks. As the swarms are alone and weak when they're spawning, and the AI drones are already chasing something, you'll litteraly be finger food for any tank approching, especially Smasher or Lancer classes
 * With a normal speed and weak drones, You'll have to remain distant from all Pounder class tanks. As their bullets have a nice penetration and damage, the drones will be useless. Remain distant and outflank the tank.

Against the Mothership

 * Use a pounder class with a flank cannon (thinking something like the Scratcher or the Poundbrid) so the Mothership will not be able to outflank you. Even if the drones are weak, thy respawn at a high rate and are very fast, so still be careful about them but trying to dodge them will be useless efforts.
 * Approching enough a Mothership with a Smasher class is an instant winning. As a Trailblazer class, you also have huge chances.

Trivia and Fun Facts

 * The Mothership was in the first versions of Diep.io, but was only playable by two persons, one Mothership per team.
 * The Mothership is one of the few tanks who's name is actually in two words without a dash (Mother/ship).
