Sphereworld Creation

Submitted by Cosmic Marvel on Tue, 2006-11-28 02:54. Space Empires V General

Evidently I'm making some silly mistake, so please explain.

I got rid of a black hole and created a star. Then I built enough base ships to carry what I think is the required material. Here's what I have:

The Sphereworld Generator
10Kt of Hyper-cables
10Kt of Gravity plating

Also, do they all have to be sitting on the same hex location? I tried that anyway and it still says I don't have the proper materials. What am I missing here?

sphereworld vs ringworld

Submitted by Crystalmage on Tue, 2006-11-28 03:32.

You have enough materials there for a ringworld... but in order to get a sphereworld you need
20kt of Hyper-Cables
20kt of Gravity Plating

as far as location, supposedly as long as they are withing 6 spaces of the star it should work... haven't tried it without them all being in the same hex

Thanks - that explains it perfectly.Smiling Just a case of bad notes on my part. Whew! I was afraid it might be something more serious - but I still wouldn't have gotten it right without your help. Thanks again!

glad I could be of some use to someone (smile)

also next time you try to build one let me know if the range thing I told you is real or legend... cause I have not tried it myself (within 6 of the star)

Much More Than "Some Use"

Hi, CrystalImage,

You were much more than just useful, you were a great help! I'd already gone into a head-scratching mode because I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

And now it's time to return the favor. Smiling Evidently it's either fable or possibly just a very minor bug. I actually tested it on this attempt because, as you know, I only had half the material on hand. Everything was sitting on one hex adjacent to the star. I brought in the rest of it and placed all of those ships in a hex right next to the first batch and also next to the star. Nothing - until I put both 'fleets' together on the very same hex and then it worked.
