Well, nothing conscious of course. But every time I read the description of Space Parasite, all the old memories of Alien, Alien II and other sci-fi. horrors come to mind. I just can't force myself to play such a race. Basically, it is a very Bad Press

Nothing, that is, except system after system of sparkling 100% oxy worlds, each one with a spanking enormous ringworld in the middle of it=-)

Default Re: Atmospheric conditioners or ringworlds?

I'm actually working on that: every system has a system shield, all asteroid fields are in the process of being converted to planets ( 6 planet creators flying around ), ringworlds are being constructed (only 4-5 at a time because of the cost) and athmospheric converters (also only 3 systems at a time are converted because of the resource drain)

Anyway, i don't think i will complete everything because i think the AI will soon turn on me.
Luckily because of trade, they will loose a lot of trade too when they go at war with me

Why bother with ringworlds if you can have sphereworlds?

Because ringworld picture is so much better looking then sphereworld (it sucks ) And since at this stage you don't really care about winning anymore, aesthetics is the only criteria that matters
