If you watch the higher def video from Blizzard's site, that Mothership barely made it to the end. Let me fire up my copy in full 1280x720... 0 shields, 156 of 850 health.
Time Bomb, 80 energy out of 300. Planet Cracker, 100 energy units. Singularity/Black Hole, 150 energy. Without knowing the real regen speed, it MIGHT have been able to recover the 30 energy necessary for that black hole, but look at the condition it would have been left in. A Probe would be more useful.
It's beatable. Especially if you used the Protoss(?) ability that wipes out any energy a unit has. The mothership looks like it's going to be a bit like a Carrier. Potent as hell, but easily countered without some support from other units. You may have noticed that even with two Phoenixes and a Warp Cannon, it only survived the first wave in good condition because the Battlecruisers didn't focus on it. The second wave DID focus on it, though. And they left it in that sad state.
I always hated that about Starcraft, too. The AI never seems to prioritize the targets you want it to, so you ended up micromanaging or dieing.
