Re: Beating a dead horse....
If you were really maschocistic you could build one and then give it to the AI empire.
Although, by the time you got one built you would probably be on MEE status and I have found that they don't accept my gifts when I am on MEE status even if it would help them too.
I guess another way would be to build one and then switch to another player making your original race now be under computer control.

Re: Beating a dead horse....
Well, DUH! I just figured it out. It's easy. Build it and then don't colonize it. Until you colonize a ring world/shpereworld, it doesn't really belong to anybody!
Eventually one of the ai races with the proper colonizing tech will get around to colonizing it.

Re: Beating a dead horse....
Another way of having the AI colonize Sphere/Ringworlds is to build a few on a map, save it, and then load the map for a new game.

Re: Beating a dead horse....
Interesting I wonder if you built 15 or 16 of them used atmosphere facilities on them and changed them into different atmospheres if an AI race would start out on a ringworld? Hmm a filled ringworld start that would be interesting. I will have to test that in a couple of weeks after I build a few ringworlds  . |

Since a homeworld is FILLED at start I think that you'd have to hard-code it NOT to allow anyone to start on a constructed world if you wanted a fair start. Or at least have a setting that controls this. So, if you are a masochist and want the challenge you can allow it.

Re: Beating a dead horse....
Its actually very possible and extremely easy to make a system with a ring world, or three or ten in it. . .
Who wants one? E-mail me and I'll amke you the data files needed. . . plus I'll send you my redesigned sphere world pic.

Why don't you just post it here? You must have discovered a tag that can be put in the systemtypes file that makes a ringworld or sphereworld appear?
