were to allow insane manic players to try to build one or more cultural centers

BTW, I think I should let you all know I'm going to do this. I'm planning my first Proportions Ringworld. I have the tech, I think I have the economy (two homeworlds conquered, two more on the way, extensive colonisation) and I have the will.

All this against the AI, of course...

Once I've colonised the ringworld, I plan to build a spaceyard there and then begin work on a Cultural Centre. (Are there any other facilities i should build first to decrease production time? I have no special techs so I can't build cloning centres or temporal SYs, and I can put my urban pac fac on another world in the same system.)

All the while I'll be ferrying a massive (ie depopulate 3 entire homeworlds) population onto it. I've already started redrawing the warp-points to make this process easier. I'm also wondering whether it would be more efficient to have a stack of starliner-worldships (which take ~20million pop but have a max speed of 2) or a fleet of smaller, faster pop transports that will only take a few million each, but can make several journies in the same time.

Anyway, Once I get the population to 10-20 billion I'm hoping a CC will be achievble in my lifetime.

Wish me luck...
