Re: Making oxygen
 

Yeah, I went for the triple-Molly once in a devnullmod vsAI game. I built them all pretty much simultaneously, and I think I finished all three. At least two, anyway.

My CO2 race had several ringworlds of their own in other systems, so I made this system my zoo/ museum=-) : the ringworlds were exclusively defended by inferior alien ships & units taken from trades, crew insurrections and planetary invasions. I had oxygen races on one ringworld, hydrogen on another and methane on the third, although the atmos converters never had time to finish their jobs before I had to patch and lost the game=-(

Oh, and I had previously built the system's asteroid field into a large atmos-none planet, which was a convenient home for my captured Space monster and United Flora (both atmos none) populations. I dubbed it "monster island"=-)

The oxy ringworld in that system was the inspiration for the rather crappy "texrak tale" on my story page.

Personally I think the ultimate prize (other than a sphereworld full of Proportions mod colonial cultural centres=-) would be to have a sphere/ ringworld of your own atmosphere, with a huge planet for each of the other atmospheres, all in the same *sector*.

To do this you'd have to build a ringworld, then destroy it to create an asteroid field which can be converted into a huge planet. Then you create a sun in the same location, rinse and repeat until you have enough huge planets, and then build the final sphere/ ringworld.

Now *that* would be impressive. For now I think i'm going to try to get a ringworld in Proportions. That will be challenge enough.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">A system of zoo planets. That would be cool. But, wouldn't it be greater still if the ringworl or sphereworld picture were, oh I don't know, ... BIGGER THAN ONE SECTOR

You know like we have now for red giants (boy, those systems hurt these old eyes of mine)

Ok, Ok, I've mentioned this once or twice before. MM can implement it in SE5, I can wait ...
