Oh yeah, Thanks! I have transposrts there and on there way there. I forgot about the colony ship. Thank goodness I had a Colony ship on the way to another system. SphereWorld for it now!

I have actually never built a RW or SW before. Games are just over long before it becomes practical to build them. I have played in 2 PBW games that used them as the HW though.

Fyron,

I have actually never built a RW or SW before. Games are just over long before it becomes practical to build them.

That is the case with me as well. But I am play testing a mod. So, now I am going to get my chance to build one!

One of the best ways I've extended games before is to get my empire to the point of building a RW, build one, and gift everything (planets, ships, etc.) EXCEPT the RW to the best AI left. Its almost like starting over with a challenging AI...

Try it - those games IMO are a lot of fun...

I built a ringworld and a sphere world in my first game. It did take forever to build, but you have a lot of spaces to fill in afteward. Now, with some of the mods I've played, I never to seem to progress that far into the game to attempt to build one. Usually because I seem to be getting my butt kicked and I need those resources for other things, or I'm just so tired of losing that I start another game. I was playing a couple of games that seemed promising as far as my progression seemed, but now that my computer was zapped, it will probably be awhile before I get back to those games.

Ive built a few ringworlds in a few games, but never a Sphereworld. I agree though, its highly impractical. Id rather use those resources and build up a nice shiny fleet of Carriers and Dreadnoughts.

i have built a sphereworld once in a game because the sun in my homesystem was going to go nova in 3 years time. Then you really want to build the sucker fast, i tell ya.
If i was in another less important system, i might not have bothered.
