#1 idea, steller minipulate a world to hollow world, on outside looks like a world inside hollow enough to place ships, and a hidden opening to let them out.useful for concelling ships etc from all enemy sensers & view.
You could make a large component for weapon platforms that is a "subterranian ship hangar"
and then just crank up the planet cloaking ability to the moon. Thus no one will be able to scan the ships. Of course the ships must "auto launch" when ever enemies come to visit, because the ships are actually in space. Perhaps a little cheesy, but what can ya do?
The space colony idea is great too. I think you'd just need a smaller Version of the ring world. You might still need to build it around the star though.
I was thinking that a subterranian race would be cool. You can't actually increase the pop. max of the planet for the race (a la MOO2). But if someone had a lot of patience and time they could create a Version of each facility that has double the cost and double the output/production (mining, research, whatever). Because the facilities are partly underground, increase the structure rating by more than double.
The subterranean race could also build catacombs for increased ground combat too... of course it didn't work so well for Osama did it
