[quote=@TheSovereignGrave] Oh yeah, that's what I was going for. I mean, stuff like asteroids would take significantly less time to consume but I'm well aware that actual planets and moons are freaking massive. The idea came to me just because the basic idea of my nation is "single system with a bunch of megastructures in it" and megastructures would take ludicrous amounts of resources to create. So what better way to gather them than to just rip apart entire celestial bodies for raw materials? [/quote] The energy used must be enormous :lol But I completely approve of the idea, and the Xim do as well, and may seek to purchase this technology.
