Re: Beating a dead horse....
Well, DUH! I just figured it out. It's easy. Build it and then don't colonize it. Until you colonize a ring world/shpereworld, it doesn't really belong to anybody!
Eventually one of the ai races with the proper colonizing tech will get around to colonizing it.

Re: Beating a dead horse....
Another way of having the AI colonize Sphere/Ringworlds is to build a few on a map, save it, and then load the map for a new game.

Re: Beating a dead horse....
Interesting I wonder if you built 15 or 16 of them used atmosphere facilities on them and changed them into different atmospheres if an AI race would start out on a ringworld? Hmm a filled ringworld start that would be interesting. I will have to test that in a couple of weeks after I build a few ringworlds  . |

Since a homeworld is FILLED at start I think that you'd have to hard-code it NOT to allow anyone to start on a constructed world if you wanted a fair start. Or at least have a setting that controls this. So, if you are a masochist and want the challenge you can allow it.

Why don't you just post it here? You must have discovered a tag that can be put in the systemtypes file that makes a ringworld or sphereworld appear?

So, Markavians, what is that e-mail adress. I have tried to mail you from US, but no response. I would REALLY like to know how to make a system with ring/sphere world.
