The Ptolemaios is designed specifically as a carrier and rear support unit for the Gundams, and is armed only with a missile system for minimal defensive capability, forcing it to rely primarily on the mobile suits for protection. Additionally, as the ship's power reserves are charged from the Gundams' onboard GN Drives, if all four units are launched, its running time is drastically reduced. When at least one of the Gundams are docked, the ship has demonstrated the capacity to produce a GN particle barrier.
Apparently you skipped the part where it's stated there has to at least be one gundam on the ptolemaios.
