O'Neill Cylinders and Stanford Toruses are the LITTLE ones. The ones I mentioned are closer to the scale of a planet.

For reference, a Halo Ring is a smallish Banks Orbital or a largish Bishop Ring.

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

Here's another suggestion: have, based off of EMP missiles, bombers that deliver EMP missiles to better disable enemy ships. Maybe also consider some of the ideas present in the DLC rebalance mod regarding differentiating weapon types -- especially those that enable more weapon types to be better at...

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

I feel like there's room for a 'cheaper than mechs' option in the lategame. Perhaps if you manage to get androids, you get an option for war droids, which fit the niche of 'any species late-game replacement for maurauders or space marines'. The idea being -- cheap to produce, low upkeep, and have bo...

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

Here's an idea, rather than planet construction per se, just be able to make Banks Orbitals or McKendree Cylinders or Bishop Rings in their slots.

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

Humans already have the highest possible rating on Forest. It's just that many of the other land species have the same rating. ... Not sure what you mean... :roll: Gaiads have a higher rating in forests than humans, and seriously? An inferno world, an ice world with artifacts and low minerals, an a...

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

Here's a suggestion for planets and terraforming and such. I'd like it, if in general, to get the most out of the best 'verdant' planet types (Coral, Garden, Paradise, etc.), that they were optimized so that three of the 'smart' races would be enough to get out of them. For example, for Coral/Ocean/...

Re: Suggest - Features and Improvements

Here's my suggestion for reworking population mechanics -- and a little bit of terraforming too! Have each planet be made up, not of percentage of area for each biome, but a specific, discrete number of slots, visible at a glance, like [2 domed habitats], [3 vents], [2 ice], [6 deep ocean] or whatev...
