Ringworld and Sphereworld Construction Questions

[charlieverse]

Ok, I was messing around and created a ship with 10 M ton capability (I now realize that I need one with 33 M ton capability and to limit it to 1 emgine {so it cannot be used in battle} in order to allow me to create a ringworld with only one ship....) Anyways, I had to create 9 more of these monster ships for the storage capability to create the sphereworld, and went to the center of my homesystem to create the sphereworld. I went into Stellar Manipulation and went to Construct and then selected Sphereworld and....Presto!!! a sphereworld was created, and all my ships were lost. AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH! Is the game designed to do this, and if so, how on Earth are you going to create a Sphereworld (20 K tons of this, 20 K tons of that and the generators, plus associated engines, master comps, etc's, etc's) Can you create the sphereworld without losing that huge investment in ships? Thanks for any assistance. Charlie.
