One that not only produces ships but can fight and move.
Do you have any idea how much power it would take to move something with that much mass?
Remember, even though it's hollow, you're dealing with an orbital body here. Kosigi is roughly half the size of our moon, it's THAT BIG. Just the shell of Kosigi is a hundred times more massive than the Aegis. It would take a thousand Aegis engines to break the inertia of Kosigi and get it out of orbit.
Is it possible? Technically yes.
How long would it take to bring it about? About 300 years.
But don't worry, you'll see carriers, ships dedicated only to carrying fighters, appear within the story eventually. With the production of the new Wolf fighters, the fighter will suddenly become MUCH more important to the KMS.
Just another guy from the shallow end of the gene pool.
