Ringworld Contruction

[DirectorTsaarx]

I actually built 3 ringworlds simultaneously once; in one of the trinary systems that appear in-game. That system also had a single huge asteroid field that I converted to a huge planet before I finished the ringworlds - that way I could stick all the system-affecting facilities somewhere besides a ringworld.

In a different game, I built a sphereworld, filled it with weapon platforms, converted some of the shipyard bases to fighter platforms, opened multiple warp points over the sphereworld, and then populated the colony with captured population from the Terrans. It was a pretty cool idea, I thought - use the sphereworld as a gigantic POW camp (I mean "relocation facility"), and make it a major defense installation at the same time. After all, there's no sense sacrificing my own people in a potentially huge battle with the enemy...

I got a game right now with 1 system that has 5 stars (thanks to I-Fyron and FQM!) that I wanna' put 5 RW's in....not that I need 'em, just will make a nice screen shot IMO....

Yeah, i wondered if you can do that! I also play using the great FQM but i'm not sure you can build a ring/sphereworld over all 3 stars.
The system i'm looking at building a ringworld in also has 3 stars. But i'm going to first build one in my homeworld and put wormholes to the rest of the system there to use the POW camp tactic of DirectorTsaarx. Nice tactic BTW DT.
But first i'm going to close all warppoint so i can build my sphereworld in peace. Then when it's ready... MAYHEM!!!

If you stuff a ringworld or sphereworld full of large WP's, how big would the enemy fleet have to be to capture of destroy it?

I have built 3 RW's in trinary systems before - no problem whatsoever. However, I just found out thru another thread that I won't be able to build the 5 RW's. The FQM has my ships and bases randomly moving in 5 star systems - and I had high hopes for a nice screen shot...
