Re: Ringworlds and such
I'm currently in the process of assembling my resources to build a sphere world, just for the fun of it with no real practical purpose, since I'm so far ahead of the two remaining AIs anyway. This is a REALLY large scale project I'm undertaking, because I'm planning to build the super-planet in a blackhole system with 4 damaging warp points which happened to be in the middle of my empire.
So, the first step was to build a warp point opener and a warp point closer, then rebuild the 4 warp points (done). Next I'm building a blackhole destroyer, a star creator and a fleet of 21 construction ships (underway). The Last step will be to build the sphere world itself (to be done).
BeeDee, do you mean this is going to take 5 years plus the construction time for the components? I also gathered that all the starbases containing the components must be built in the same square where the sun is, is that true? Strategically speaking I really don't see a point to build this monster, it is more like a monument than anything else.
