Default Re: Asteroid System strategy

you gotta' figure the cost benefits of RW/SW's vs reconstruction. IMO, asteroid fields with small numbers should be candidates for RW/SW unless of course it has 3 stars. Then definitely RW/SW

RingWorld/SphereWorld (aka Dyson Sphere)

The best way to go about it, of course is to do both. Build some planets, then build the sphereworld.
Use atmosphere converters rather than smash/rebuild once your sphereworld is built.

You know every time I ever got a sphereworld I never got it filled with facilities. By that point I have the game won, and I am so massive its boring. A sphereworld making so many resources that youre pretty much a god, who can stop you? Unless they have 5 of them
good idea for a scenario... sphere wars

IIRC you can make RW/SW's in a system with planets, but not make planets in a system with RW/SW's. Exception: If its a binary or trinary system, 1 star must be natural (not a RW/SW surrounding it). Then you can build planets.

Disclaimer: I do not have Gold yet (boooooooo), but I'm pretty sure that's the way it works in 1.49

Try this when you get to that point:

1. Build 1 SW and stock a few dozen Weapons Platforms and Star Bases.

2. Give everything else to an AI....

It can be rather interesting....
