Space Settlements

I've often thought about a mod that would be a major re-write of the sphere/ringworld generators. I think they are way too unrealistic as currently written, but with a little tweaking could closely approximate L5 colonies in scale and workability.

Unrealistic is one way of putting it. Hopefully SEV will have construct worlds that are more true to their size and ability (i.e sphereworld taking up a large portion of the system ala Dyson Sphere style).

A brief idea for my space settlement plan is for a component that generates a small amount of organics and also a small amount of research, a bio-lab if you will. I'm thinking mineral generating components are rather unrealistic (Unless the settlement is in the same section as an asteriod field, but remote mining is better still). I'm thinking the research and intel would be a better direction to go in, i.e having space labs and listening Posts. Again organics will probably be a more likely direction as well in the form of space farms. Not sure about radioactives yet, maybe some kind of panel that harnesses energy from the sun and converts it.
