I love them as well. Especially when taking them with troops from empires that couldn't resist building them!!!

Back to the original topic (sort of), I noticed that the planetary cloak only works when you actually build the facility with the modded ability. If you mod one of your starting facilities with a cloak it will not work. Unless you scrap the facility and start over.

WEll, I finally built a Ringworld Last night. Then i went to bed, as it was 1:00 am. In the next couple of turns, my sphere world should be ready to be completed. Can't wait to see how much of an influence they'll be in my game.

Greg, what happned to JUST ONE MORE TURN? Going to bed at only 1am while playing SEIV is unheard of! Most never go to bed!

I've built some sphere worlds but never any ring worlds. I don't want to use up a star by building a ring world so I wait until I research sphere worlds. But I have never played a game long enough to completely fill up the sphere worlds I constructed.

I laboured away for ages to create a planet builder, then I send it to a system made of nothing but asteroids.
"Ha,Ha !" I say "Now I can build a new planet every turn". Instead I get a message informing me I can't do it because there are no stars in the system. Now I have to build a star creator. To avoid further setbacks, can the star be built in empty space, or do I need to use it on a storm or asteroid?.

Earlier it was said "I usually mothball the pating and cable starbases until the "..
To unmothball them costs alot, better to put the queue on hold and restart it one turn before the generator is built.
Ships also costs alot.
Therefore I use lot's of shipyard ships(! Hmm, logical gap here...)
Send one to each star and builds a construction starbase there, that starbase starts construction of the generator base.
Meanwhile 10 ships with spaceyards components zips around to each of these stars and builds 10 new bases with spaceyards, then heads off for the next and the next and the...
These new 10 bases starts construction of the plating and cable bases, put's queue on hold until one turn before the generator is finished.
After that you have a ringworld and 11 construction bases to build weapon platforms and whatever...

To build sphereworlds increse number of bases..
