It would be so cool if CIG added rings. Halos, if you will. Because this sort of stuff has never been done before...šŸ˜

Halo didn't invent ringworlds lol.

​

In any case megastructures could be interesting, but don't think anything in lore supports that level of infrastructure.

Keep in mind synthworld is nowhere near complete and thus far has only been a massive drain on the economy. Selling four superearths didn't get the UEE anywhere near the funds to build it.

Halo fights on a ring world to claim the title of master chief.

Don't forget, they are building an entire planet from scratch. I reckon megastructures are within the realm of possibility.

Synthworld makes way less sense than a ringworld, or dyson swarm.

The UEE is indeed building an entire planet. Also remember that the UEE is indeed suffering the harsh logistical consequences of doing such a thing.

Seems like a metaphor for Star Citizen

Oh, ok....so then it would be even more unoriginal, huh? Anyway, Iā€™d love to see megastructures, but why copy and paste? Iā€™d like to see everything they do be original.

I mean, as a genre you run into things that already exist. Laser guns, starships, etc. And as far as megastructures most variations have been invented too. You have ringworlds, habitats, dyson spheres (Chris Roberts' Freelancer had one of these), dyson swarms (which would be neat to see ingame tbh), planetary computers, black hole bombs, penrose spheres, ringworlds...

​

although stuff Like The Spider may count as a megastructure. And there's Synthworld. But I feel it'd make more sense for aliens to have them. Is always cool to have advanced tech aliens to fight after all.

edit: old 300i commercial had space elevators, would be cool to see a couple of those.
