<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">True but if you have a large empire and you're not at war with anyone, they are a valid option. If you do have other breathers lying around, then it's cheaper to move the pop.

I have actually moved some pop around and converted some 30 ish planets (from 302 total) like this before i started building athmospheric converters.

It is truly beautiful. *sniff*

Re: Atmospheric conditioners or ringworlds?
 

One of the beauty of Proportions is that you simply can not capture enough aliens to fill all
your Domed Planets. Even after conquering Homeworlds, the shipping time can be prohibitive. Thus, you MUST research and build Atmospheric converters ! I like it.

Temporal is the only decent race trait ! (IMHO of course http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ) Occasionally I play Crystalline, but Organic send shievers down my spine. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif

Re: Atmospheric conditioners or ringworlds?
 

What is so bad about Organic race trait?

You know, I bet you'll have tons of fun playing Adamant Mod (when it is done), as there will be plenty of those organic races to smite. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Atmospheric conditioners or ringworlds?
 

In a PBW game I'm in I now have 75 breathable planets in my 6 colonized systems and 6 ringworlds.
Even the tiny moons have breathable atmosphere now!
And I'm not even in any of the top two positions.
I wen't with atm conv first and then started building my ringworlds.

Now off to conquer the rest of the galaxy!

Re: Atmospheric conditioners or ringworlds?
 

Well, nothing conscious of course. But every time I read the description of Space Parasite, all the old memories of Alien, Alien II and other sci-fi. horrors come to mind. I just can't force myself to play such a race. Basically, it is a very Bad Press http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Atmospheric conditioners or ringworlds?
 

Proportions seems like a fun mod but isn't play generally slow. I mean if it takes so long to travel and build pop, the games should Last longer right?
Also, i'm not sure if i like that culture thingie that takes so long to build (don't know the exact name). I know it's main purpose is to emphasize the importance of the homeworld but i think that importance is bit overdone.

Otherwise it seems fun especially since planets have more cargo capability so more planetary defenses can be build.
I think i will try this mod when my current solo game is over.
