Where can I make a star?

[Kamog]

Yeah, sphere worlds are nice to have but it takes a really long time to fill them up. I have never played a game enough turns to research the technology, build the sphere worlds, and completely fill them as well. By the time I stop playing a game, my sphere worlds are less than half full, if I constructed any sphere worlds at all.

prestige, mostly. Someone who's more awake and could actually find it could probably post a funny link to a wiki page about that.

You mean this page {link}?

Yes, that one.

works for me. here's a copy-paste:

Imperial Ego

Space Empires IV is a game about conquering the galaxy, so it tends to appeal to the kind of people who... well... want to conquer the galaxy. This means the SEIV community has more than it's fair share of power-mad, totalitarian egomaniacs, desperate to demonstrate their ultimate superiority and bend all creation to their will.

Conquering the galaxy and referring to oneself in the third person is one way to do this, but once you've done that a few times you start to look for something new. This has led to the existence of certain "status symbols"- mighty feats of prowess and power to be achieved because conquering the entire galaxy just isn't impressive enough . These things will not help you to conquer the galaxy - they are so ridiculously expensive or impossible that you can only contemplate them after you have achieved complete mastery of all you survey:

* The Triple-Molly.
* Building a battlemoon loaded so full with self- repairing armor that it can survive the centre of a black hole indefinitely.
* Conquering the entire quadrant except for one planet, then swapping sides with the AI and fighting your way back up - one planet against the entire galaxy - to win again.
* Building even one new cultural centre in a Proportions game.
* Filling a sphereworld (using an ?advanced storage race) with cultural centres.
* Re-sculpting the galaxy's warp point connections so that a ship can get from any given planet to any other in 10 movement points.
* Re-sculpting the galaxy's warp point connections to spell out your name.

Given enough patience, most players can carry out the above against the computer. For a real challenge, try to achieve one of them on PBW.

How do I create asteroid fields in a system with no planets? Blow up a star?

As far as I know you cannot. I have never heard of a way and I have never been able to do it. Even by blowing up a star...That is one thing that would be cool to do, transport asteroids into an empty system and pile them in a sector and build a planet. Maybe SEV...

Well... first you mod the planet destroyer to work on ringworld size. Create star, build ringworld, destroy ringworld and there you go. If you really wanted to that is.

[Kamog]

If you blow up a ring world or sphere world, it creates a huge asteroid belt, right?

[Fyron]

This does allow you to create an infinite number of planets though... build star, build RW, blow up, get asteroids. Build new star, new RW, get 2nd asteroid belt, and so on.
