Asteroid System strategy

Umm, can't you make RW/SW in systems with planets?

IF: yeah, you can build a RW/SW in systems with planets. Our Posts were around the same time, so I never saw the one right before mine.

My point was just that I hate missing out on such high-value planets when they don't come from anywhere else.

Krsqk:
Actually, my question was in regard to this statement:

quote:
you gotta' figure the cost benefits of RW/SW's vs reconstruction. IMO, asteroid fields with small numbers should be candidates for RW/SW unless of course it has 3 stars. Then definitely RW/SW

not what you had said. I was fairly certain that you could do both types of stellar manipulation in the same system (never having actually done either msyelf in SEIV). His statement confused me.

Sorry. I was confused by your confusion. How confusing.

Excuse me, folks, but what the heck is RW/SW? Looks like naval warfare ensignia!

RingWorld/SphereWorld (aka Dyson Sphere)

The best way to go about it, of course is to do both. Build some planets, then build the sphereworld.
Use atmosphere converters rather than smash/rebuild once your sphereworld is built.
