re: destroying ringworld or sphereworld - you actually can do it but you need to mod a new component into the game with appropriate settings. When it is destroyed, i think someone said you get a single asteroid field and thats it. not sure tho.

You are absolutely right: you get a huge asteroid field.

And there is still a sun in the system so you can't make another one, you can only make a sun if there is no sun already in the system.
Huh? for every other sun-dependent mechanism, the Ring/Sphere is not a sun. But you still can't use a sun maker? Arrgh, where's my ringworld test scenario when i need it.

I can confirm this. think about it- if it wasn't this way you could build an endless number of ringworlds.

I always thought there was some sort of limit as to how many planets there could be in a system - if you limit the number of stars, then why not limit the number of planets?

There is:
Creating a planet uses up asteroids... so when there are no more asteroids, you can make no more planets.
