Ah, I was speaking of the level II and III descriptions. The description for level I works fine. That will teach me to check for level I, even when level II is the same as level III.

As far as I can tell you can only use bases fo ring/sphere world comps there is no ship large enough for them and then move and a base can not use engines to move to a star.

(Edit) E-build goes slower (on mine at least)

Ooooh, I was looking at the ability descriptions
Component descriptions fixed.

Yes, but I believe the plating/cables only have to be somewhere in the system, not right on the star.

By turning on E-build, you start saving up construction rate.
It goes slower at first, then when you turn off Ebuild, you get a burst of speed.

Overall, your SY will put out the same amount of production, but if its idle, you may as well save half that rate for a rainy day.

Also, at the beginning, your homeworld will probably be able to pump out colony ships and scouts 1 per turn, even at half rate.
So, you can store up rate with Ebuild, and then when you need to build your 600kt warships (or ringworld parts), you can turn it off and pump them out faster.

I thought the componets needed to be at the star...OK I will give that a try, and will try the E-build too, sounds confusing but I think I understand

Whoa!

Is this true in Stock SE IV?

This would change a great many things.

No. They have to be on top of the star in stock.

As I recall, someone posted about trying to build a double or triple molly simultaneously.

The end result being that when the first ring was completed, it used up the plating and cables around the other star(s). (All of it in the system as I recall)
