When was the Last time you built a ring world?

[rdouglass]

I haven't done it in a while myself. I guess with FQM having ample 5-star systems, it got to be 'old hat' after a while.

In my current solo game, I own at least 3 5-star systems, maybe I'll start seeding bases again to build components....that's cool; having 5 SW's in 1 system...

The only time I built a sphere world was in my first game, and that was towards the end. I don't recall building a ring world, though. I just haven't played any of my games since then that far. It's kind of hard too, when you got so many mods to choose from. Plus, it seems I'm getting less time to play on the computer right now. I'll have to make an effort to do so in the near future.

Even better is that all of your orbital defense get scattered around from the random system movement!

Nah, I turned that off... I can handle all the damaging WP's but not my bases/ships moving around willy-nilly. That's the only thing about FMQ I changed. An occasional spacial anomoly for some unexpected movement, OK; but not every turn...

I never built any Sphere or Ring World, for lack of the need to do so. (Well, in a regular game that is, I tried once to check how it was done)

Incidentally, I fail to see a reason why you would want to build a Sphere World. These require a *lot* of research points compared to Ring Worlds, and they require twice as much resources and build time than a Ring World. Besides, you would need fifty turns to outproduce a non-breathable ring world, and one hundred turns to have more facilities than a breathable ring world. So many turns are needed for this Sphere World to be more profitable than a Ring World.

So is there any reason why you would want to build a Sphere World, unless if you do happen to have few stars at your disposal? I admit I fail to see why you would want these. (Apart from trying to build the fabled Sphere World boasting 240 Cultural Centers. That is what I call a very strong planet indeed. )

because i like maximizing my resources, silly.

I always build one....because I can.
