Regarding the Dyson Sphere. I have never liked that part. I believe that when Dyson proposed the sphere it was based on the idea that a Type II civilization would need to harness the power of its star(s) by building a (not necessarily solid) sphere of energy gathering colonies or satellites. So building a Dyson Sphere Planet(?) is moving away from the spirit of the idea. I have started tinkering with a construct that is built around a sun and generates resources. I.E. minerals, organics, etc. Once again off of the "original idea" but at least it is closer to the starting point than a planet type people live on (in) and build houses in, factories, shoppong malls, need I say more?
