Fallen Empire buildings overpowered?

[Vraith97]

Just my opinion but the buildings of the FEs are totally overpowered.
Especially the Class-4-Singularities: You get basically one Dysonsphere per conquered FE?!
And the Dimensional Fabricators, which are a very powerfull source for the rare ressources.

Yeah, fallen empire buildings are super powerful, but so are the fleets that guard them. Being able to conquer a fallen empire requires a sufficiently robust economy that the FE buildings are simply "win more".

not sure they are overpowered. to kill FE you need at least 100-200k fleet. more if you upped the strength.
if you have such fleet chances are you can already have a "dysonsphere" or equivalent thing. maybe you've already won the game

If they woldn't be that strong nobody would bother conquering FE at all

A couple more points:

Awakened Empires would have almost no resource production without them. They need those buildings to rebuild their ships.

Also those buildings can be permanently destroyed by bombardment or ground invasions.

 

[Dreagon]

It's kind of the point of those buildings.

Personally i would be glad to see them having actual economy instead of magic building. Because don't like the fact that i can't build self-sustaining empire on ringworlds exclusively anymore but some FE still can enjoy it because of magic buildings. Why they are allowed to have minerals/alloys from empty space but not me?

And i dislike the idea of unique FE technologies in general. Things that were researched once should be researchable again.

No they're as powerful as the economic facilities of an ancient empire that's old and advanced enough to have witnessed the passing of a galactic cycle should be.

I like how FEs are powerful. It provides something to do while sitting there waiting for the endgame crisis.
It's also provides a good incentive to fight them, though admittedly by then you should be OP anyways.
