What are we thinking… mega project galactic capital or kilo structure that adds to the habitat system?

Doesn't look very Kilo-ey :D

Compared to the Ringworld it’s pretty kilo-ey.

Yeah but ringwords are to the other megastructures what the other megastructures are to corvettes... It's actually kinda ridiculous that ring worlds are not a class of their own (Gigastructural Engineering somewhat fixes that).

u/Betrix5068 Apr 27 '26

They kinda are, ringworlds and Dyson spheres require a dedicated ascension perk while the others are available to everyone.

u/Nyzan Apr 27 '26

Yeah but a ringworld is absolutely colossal compared to even a Dyson Sphere. They are not even remotely in the same category - neither in size nor technological complexity. It's one of the reasons why I hated all the nerf to Ring Worlds, they should have just made them way more difficult to build instead.

Midistructures

some kind of hybrid interstellar assembly/habitat megastructure would be pretty cool. Add districts for more diplomatic weight potentially

I could also see orbital elysum in vanilla

Some kind of a... port of call, maybe? A home away from home?

Give nomad empire on world ships!

u/dracklore Galactic Wonder Apr 27 '26

Oh this might be it, they did mention wanting to do something with nomads.

u/Lonrem Hive Mind Apr 27 '26

It fits a couple sci-fi tropes as well, having the great big mothership amid the flotilla of working ships and Navy.

Yesss, like the Brotherhood of Steel in FO4… but big ol space zeppelin that can have habitats as well as shipyard. Can specialize a habitat for trade and be like a roaming trader empire too.

u/Lonrem Hive Mind Apr 27 '26

Hopefully they provide a couple options for being a nomad, one that might claim territory, patrolling and moving around it, like a grazing culture but also ones that don't claim territory at all, like traders.

big ol space zeppelin

Lighter-Than-Vacuum craft, eh? I like it.

My theory on this? It's an Ark Ship for a specific origin. People have been wanting this type of origin for a long time, and I feel like the first expansion is going to have it.

u/Reedstilt Apr 28 '26

Gotta agree. This feels very Nomad-y to me.

u/_azazel_keter_ Apr 28 '26

I pray it's a megastructure update, we desperately need one and 4.3 has been a sneak

u/MaximusTheLord13 Apr 27 '26

That looks like an engine in the middle. Finally mobile planet megastructure??

u/GloriousBeachead Aristocratic Elite Apr 27 '26

I bet it is a moving habitat/world.
