Thanks guys.

Now I can make a more informative decision.

What do you have to research to get a minor city?

Just Colonial Development level 1 - 500 research points.

Hmmmm

I have Colonial Developement Level 5 and I still don't have it.

Ooops, found it. Had "Only Latest" selected.

Ya you also need GUI at level 1+

OK, I've built my ringworld, and I'm currently constructing a spaceyard there to accelerate the CC construction. Build time for the CC is shown at around 3000 turns right now.

Building the ringworld was surprisingly easy- I'm thinking I might do a few more.

*Pats dogscoff on the back.*

The build rate should speed up significantly once you get decent levels of pop on it.

Hmm, feel the urge to start a SP proportions game just to build a sphereworld and fill it with CCs... must resist... feel life slipping away...

Yeah, I've only got 90 million on there at the moment, but my migration program is speeding up considerably. I have two pop-transport worldships (19million capacity each) and a number of smaller ships on repeat orders, with plenty more in build. I've re-drawn the galaxy map so it is now only 6 movement points from my homeworld to the rinngworld (and I'll soon be reducing the distance from my other oxy-breather homeworlds as well) so I reckon I can have at the very least 2000m on it inside of a hundred turns. I'll be aiming for at least double that.

I'm on turn ~750 now, btw.

Oh, and worldships work very nicely for stellar manip in proportions: You can put one plating and one cabling component on a worldship (with the necessary C&C) and a SY base will construct it in less than 2 years. You can also build it mobile, if your homeworld is nearby. You'll need 5 of these worldships and a ringworld placement generator (on a starbase- 2.7 years, YMMV) for a ringworld. Maybe they need to be more expensive in proportions. Does 2 years seem long enough to build all that?
