Default Re: Ring and Sphereworlds

I totaly agree that this kind of procedure should not be possible, and that it should take longer to retrofit a ship.
I would never use this method to cheat against a human or AI player, since that would make a possible victory less sweet. My reason for using this procedure was that in the game I was playing I was already winning (had accidently missed setting the AIs to max. difficluty ) and I wanted to se what a RW looked like before terminating the game. As LintMan pointed out, this method is ****EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE**** and I would not be able to afford this unless I already had conquerd many of my AI neighbours and taking their worlds, or by first growing that big by my self. But in the time it takes to grow THAT big you can construct mayby 2-3 ringwords the right way, so I would NOT call this cheating.
Mayby my original post is usless because of the extreeme cost of the procedure, but I thought mayby someone else in an similar situation just wanted to see that next level of technology implemented before playing a _real_ game. Anyway it has been posted, use it or don't, and if you do, let your own conscience (or the rules by wich you and your fellow gamers play) guide you.

Kagetora, I sense much anger in you, and anger leads to the dark side,
and the DARK SIDE leads to suffering. (sorry, I could not resist)
I also respect your stand in this matter but there is no need for harsh words.
