Giant Stars?

Possibly 999. That, or 256^2-1. Or, so completely random arbitrary number.

So you could build a sun destroyer in like one turn?

Or a fully armed Battlemoon in about three,
and about a zillion fighters.

Yes, just think, It'd be like Trantor of Foundation fame, it woudl require 20+ worlds to support its voracious appetite for resources (if you ignore the fact it doesn't produce resources).

Now there's an idea, how about making a sphereworld that doesn't produce resources, it has like 10 slots or so, so its only useful as a shipyard with 64 B people. By the way, growing that many people is truly heinous

I'll be adding spaceyard expansion projects...

Then you could have the Sphereworld filled up with 200 spaceyards, and be getting 25-50 times more build rate instead of resource production facilities.

Oh man, that's brutal.
I hope Malfador implments planetary/stellar engines. Being able to move planets around as the ultimate in late-game assult technology would just be fantastic. Well, for MP games. Wonder if the AI would be able to use them in that fashion?

I dunno'? Somehow fighting (and fleeting) planets just seems a little overboard to me. Maybe being able to move asteroid fields - OK IMO - but not planets...
