Mothership clarification: Motherships never got past the planning stage due to human tech lacking the ability to power something that large.
Arks were intended to be the first colony ships before FTL, (they would have had to have been twice as large as a modern dreadnought in order to fit everything within one hull.) but again, they were never actually built as FTL meant they could build much smaller ships that didn't need all the redundancies and cargo holds and could actually move. (The Original dreadnoughts were only slightly larger than battleships for example, they only got bigger when tech allowed them to.)
The Term "Mothership Class Vessel." AKA "Ark Class " is part of the Alliance Jargon just in case they encounter something that large and so they have a way to refer to it that everyone can understand. This new contact is of that size and as such is referred to as a Motehrship, or Ark

DESTROY AT ALL COSTS.
Basically, yeah, shoot them and pray. If they don't all get destroyed, then The Pioneer is ready to sacrifice itself to stop them (if it does come to this, then hopefully she'll survive.  ) - however I've tried to have the captured Raider vessels used as a screen to take the hits instead, but it's in Harrab's court as to whether this will happen or not.

Just a thought, what happens if the missiles get through? Do we restart? Or does everyone get really sad?

Restart? Screw that. We all just get scorned very badly and feel very guilty that we let the bad people make the good planet go booooooooooom. Then we find those sons o' bitches and blow the sh*t outta them with our Ion cannons! Edit: They can't get through though. My ship's directly in their path.

Good thinking with the captured ships dark, that was quick thinking.
Unfortunately the dice have spoken, you have another wave inbound.

Clarification on the Marker ship as their seems to be some confusion.
The Marker ship is stealthy and was not the ship launching the WMDs at Aria, as doing so would force it to de-cloak and be detected every time a new wave came in, and it lacks the internal space for so many missiles.
Think of it as a spotter for an artillery strike, able to guide the shots on target while remaining hidden.
the "Faster than a frigate" things were missile carriers that would jump into a system, (Hint, the arrival of dreadnoughts makes it impossible for them to enter or the Marker ship leave.) accelerate towards the target designated by the spotter, then split into twelve smaller missiles to confound defenses, as only one missile has to make it through to destroy a planet.
The frigate is now trying to avoid detection for as long as possible so it can escape, and don't think it'll be staying still.

How about this tactic:
ESM pods to maximum scanning mode, and then blind fire in the general direction of the signal. Only target when we have a clear fix.

My baby's going to be spending weeks, perhaps months docked at the Martian shipyards being repaired (when Broadsword restores basic functionality and power allowing a hyper space jump back to the home system). Until then, I'll be needing a new ship (or at least hitch a ride with someone else..  Where'd I leave my Hitchhiker's Guide.. ).
In the midst of writing up a very interesting post.
