Well,
people play with 1 to 3 mother ships
that is your chice how many you want
i say make 2 that way you can keep one in base for defends and emergency times when you need 2 fleets out
and you can use the other to attack!

I think that they make more than three because they don't know what they are and they don't know what they do. After all they're just newbs.

"just" newbees...
As motherships are just used to get your fleet flying around I'd suggest 1 mothership per fleet you want to use...
Most players take 1-3 motherships because they use 1-3 fleets . |

yup 2 to 3 ms is all you need for ms's are only good for two things one to fly your ships in your fleet to places you send them and two to be used a defence for they have no attack points |

if you just leave a mothership alone at your base for defense, is that a bad idea? =) |

i think 3 MS is sufficient for the beginning period - within the first 2 days you're in protection mode and wont't be in danger to loose one of your MS.
i myself had 2 fleets with 1 MS each checking out the surrounding space, still having 2 MS as back-up at the base. but i recycled one to get the MP free for building some interesting (and not yet invented!) ships at shipyards i found during the journey on pre-warp worlds.
when protection mode was running out, i ordered back my fleets to reassamble.
depending on what inventions you made meanwhile, it's up to you to how to use you MP. but always remember that motherships "eat" lots of MP and you maybe want to build some of the recently developed ship types...
