Hey, thats pretty cool.
i like this idea!
Necro time. How about a dyson sphere that stores all energy it collects (btw how does the sphere transfer power to planets or gates?) and when commanded to it will fire this energy out in a concentrated beam destroying whatever planet, ship (maybe a whole fleet), or maybe even star that it hits. This would of course be even farther than the days on sphere in research as you would then need to research how to weaponize it.
It didnāt happen shhhhhh.
I do not deserve the title necromancer anymore.
And what the heck is a ādays on sphereā
@Hirohito that is an awesome list of megastructures! They are all really cool.
@Steve one scientific issue with beam based weapons is they spread out. Hereās a video about shining a laser pointer at the space station. TLDR you can see the laser pointer at the space station but the beam is 1km wide.
So if you fired a beam from one solar system to another it would spread out so much it probably wouldnāt do much damage when it got there. You could fire at objects in your own solar system and it might be an awesome defensive weapon though.
That was worded extremely badly, essentially I wanted to say it is farther along in the tech tree than the Dyson sphere.
This wasnāt posted yet:
Put ideas for megastructures thet maybe can be added if they can add such a thin i love tho see ring world and dison sware to colect energy idea come from stellaris
Any other stellaris players
Ow i forgot of that iv watched it
Thx for the suggestion
Yeah, but thatās probably waaaay to difficult to put in the game, idk how it would even work as a mechanic, but hey maybe an idea will pop up so might as well give it a suggestion as food for thought, maybe megastructures can be an Ascension mechanic gameplay loop?
Something I want and think they probably will add is dyson swarms. I really canāt see a space stage WITHOUT them since theyāre so easy to make yet so useful. Basically just put a ton of mirrors around a star and then harvest the starās energy using said mirrors.
Editing to say Iām an idiot because you already mentioned dyson swarms in this post lol
Yeah I definitely think some megastructures should be possible in space for sure, and I think Ascension should add megastructures and make previous megastructures easier to build, since at that point you are āGodlike.ā
There was already a thread about this so I merged these.
Ow and whay isent space stage made out of tho stages solar and galactic stage solar wher you trying to take over your ow solar system and make a Dyson swarm and astroid miners
Ow i edit this and it whil be nice to see ring world planets made out of meteal whit loke like a ring oround the host star
