Default Re: multiple ring/sphereworlds in 1 system

Grrrr. I had a feeling i would have to construct 2 more ringworlds. Well, i could build a system shield facility to stop it but i'll do both: build a shield and construct the 2 ringworlds:-)

Thanks for the answer

(Edit: dumb typo)

you'll have to scrap the shield before triggering the ringworld..otherwise the final step will fail.

This is incorrect.
System Shield will prevent warp closing/opening and every form of star destruction. However the construction of ring-/shereworlds is not impeded.

interesting concept:

ringworld construction as a weapon:
So your enemy has this trinary system full of solar collection array (or whatever those resource thingies are) planets, and has a system grav shield. To take the whole thing out of commission, all you have to do is make his three stars into ringworlds!

hehe, "all you have to do . . . "

Now a Triple Molly would really be something. But I'm not sure if that title is still valid. Is she still a 'star'?

(EDIT: Note to self, run spellcheck when posting)
