[quote=@TheSovereignGrave] Fabulous, now to throw the concept for my nation and see if that's cool too. I wanted it to sort of be a species who, technology-wise, are pretty average except they're really good at making things that are really, really big and the extraction of raw materials to use in the construction of said things that are really, really big. I wanted to have them be confined to only a single system (by choice), but many artificial planets and ringworlds and the like which house their population. And those artificial megastructures are the only thing in the system, since everything else has been harvested for raw materials. And there's sort of a ring of systems around their one that are empty because everything has been harvested to be used for the megastructures in their home system. I'm only asking because it's sort of atypical. And thanks, I like my profile pic too. :D [/quote] I like the idea! It's unique! I assume that a lot of the more aggressive nations will think "One system! Ha, I can conquer that!" but then fail to because there's such an overwhelmingly large population concentrated all in that one spot. So you have my approval. You also have my official Stamp of Awesome Idea.
