Well Atrocities .I built one In stock se4gold,AI diffuculty Medium ,turn base game, 25% Left to discover in unknown systems,1st place. By the time i built one and a few facilitys on it, made it my major Hub for ships,the game was mostly over,I pretty much destroyed all but 1 or 2 Ai empires

.Never had a chance to see what benefite this ringworld can do.Note: I never built a Sphereworld yet.

I built a ring and sphere world once but by the time they ammounted to anything the game was already over.

I have never had a game Last long enough for my sphere worlds to be completely full. It takes forever to build enough facilities to fill them up... or to get the population full.

I have three ringworlds in my latest solo proportions game. And the first of them is now less than 200 turns away from completing a cultural centre.

Now if I can just capture the Bobroban and Texrak homeworlds and transport all that population over I could probably knock a few dozen turns off that...

I've built loads of Ringworlds in Proportions and Devnullmod (never in stock, I don't think) and once I built a sphereworld, but I didn't like it- too ugly.

Maybe SE5 needs a picture somewhere showing the surface of the planet you have currently selected. Then us godlike imperial overlords could actually appreciate the inside of those monolithic constructions, instead of only seeing the dull, grey outside.

I always end up building ringworlds. I might stop doing it since apparently the computer (i mainly play SP) players don't do it.
So this would keep it more fair IMO.
But it's fun to build one.
Building more is even funier
