No, yes, and yes. Someone worked out a cost/benefit analysis a while back and figured out that you can actually make a profit off of ringworlds in a fairly short space of time. I guess organic races would have a good time with replicant centers on one of these, but temporal races would do better in the short run with temporal spaceyards.
Someone mentioned that constructions are immune to planet destroyers, i do not think this is so. I thought that they counted as a huge planet and as such could be destroyed by the highest level of planet destroyer. can anyone confirm?
Well, the definition of a Ringworld or Sphereworld in the PlanetSize.txt file is stellar size 'huge' so I would guess that a planet destroyer for 'huge' planets would work. What building one of these DOES do is remove the star from the system! So, it effectively makes the star immune to star-destroying weapons. But if someone destroyed the RW/SW you'd have an asteroid field, not a star left behind. Hmm. Not good.
