We already have Dyson Spheres, and I think Alderson Disks(?)

I suggested quite a bit ago that we add ringworlds (possibly call them "Stellar Bracelets," SBs hereafter, in case Larry Niven's lawyers are attentive of that term used in any game.)

Some higher-level users are (semi-)retiring due to nothing new for them.

Give them something to do: A string of project-missions in order to assemble new SBs. It'll require a sith-exaton of materials, but the 1k+ rank club can definitely pull it off.

And if it requires a galaxy-wide collaborative effort to put together our first SB, then so be it; that'll be fine as well.

(I think a 1-player project would be one the size seen on Halo: It just orbits a planet.

A galaxy-wide collaboration would be Niven's originally-imagined type: It encircles around an entire star from the distance of Earth's orbit.) - Asheron

If I was known to be part Jewish by heritage (and I am 1/4, in fact), would everything I suggest be rejected by anti-semites?

If I were a minority race who invented the next big thing, would white supremacists reject it and accept a very similar object from a white person? (Incidentally, I happen to be 1/2 Asian.)

Look at the suggestion / invention for its own merits. Don't reject anything based on who made it. It's a form of singling-out, which feels rather discriminatory.

Also, please cloak yourself hard, Thunderbolta, because if I find you on the Battle Tab, you're mine; I'll pound you until you agree to treat me better on the forums. Thank you. - Asheron

They're only artifacts for planets; they aren't "planets" in their own right, which I'd hope for them to be.

I guess the Topopolis Rings as we have them now, are orbited around their planets.

A "ring-world" (or stellar bracelet) that orbits a STAR, would be a "planet" (I suppose a "colonizable object") in its own right.

I wish we'd have more objects to colonize than just planets, someday. They can be SBs, or maybe an abandoned "Unicomplex," or we make our own. - Asheron

If they extend around a star, why do they take up planets' spaces then? They must be mini-topopolii. - Asheron

Because they must have a starting point or a main hub. That main hub could be what takes up the space.

Now, if you'll be so kind... just stop with the dumb suggestions.

That's only 4 of the races in the game. There are plenty more. I call for adding female avatars for the rest of them.

Suggestions you don't happen to agree with: 1st-world problems.

Topopolii of GL are, once again, planetary artifacts.

The ringworlds I've seen on Halo and other works of sci-fi are treated like planets / colonizable objects in their own right. If we can have anything shaped differently from planets to colonize on, that would add some fresh content to the game. Anything to last the higher-ranking veterans a little longer before they decide to retire.

Unless there's substantial new content for higher-ranking players, I will retire (or maybe semi-retire?) from the game when my rank hits the year I hit that rank. (So if I'm Rank 2017 by 2017, that'll be it for me.)

PS: Xzien, if you get Battle Tabbed, I'll keep pounding you until you decide to reply more respectfully to my posts, so please go cloak yourself in the meantime. - Asheron

Have fun with that prospect Asheron. When I see you in my news feed I'll be sure to pay your resources a visit for a few days. You're in my rank range, so if I see you first, you know what'll happen. And then once I zero your hacks and raids I will alert you to my legion so they can laugh at you. And then I will repeat the process again. And then when you leave I will celebrate, 1st world style, as the forum is rid of your idiocy.

Now do yourself and this forum a favor and turn off your computer, go outside and kindly get some fresh air and never touch the computer again, for the sake of the internet world.

1st of all no one -1 your sugetions just cause you make them, only a moron would do such a thing. I read them then -1 them cause there not needed or not to well needs tweeking. Pulling the race care was lame but so are 90% the comments made in this post .

Xzien, like your one to talk! you request that I be nicer to you then go after people like this. If I ever see your legion on my BT, of I every scan any good planets or your legions. ( if you even have any) Or if your base EVER hits rank 6 I will be there. ;)

for the most part you have turned in to a cruel child when dealing with people who you can beat on in game. I'm more than happy to zero you and destroy your base when im able to!

Soulplay I myself don't like escalating things but if someone wants to put it to that point I'm game for it. Asheron said he'd be looking for me, so that was my response.

He said himself that he would quit if he got dissatisfied with the content. Considering the rank he put himself at and the current content at that rank, I can completely see him leaving at that point. I never said that I would make him quit, nor do I want anyone to quit, but he needs to learn to either shut up or learn to make actual good suggestions.
