It should set the ringworld as an aquatic world in terms of habability since it's now all ocean.
I don't think a flooded Ecumenopoli makes sense, but a flooded relic world sounds interesting.
Let's say you use a Deluge Machine on an Ecumenopolis. Right now it becomes an Ocean World? What if it turned into a Flooded Relic World, instead? Increase the size of the planet by 50% to account for all the water it would take to flood the arcologies (and also not feel bad about losing the ability to build them), add the standard Relic World features (including blockers), and make the planet non-terraformable -- not into an Ecumenopolis, not into a Gaia World, not into a Tomb World, it can only be turned into an uninhabitable world. Habitability is as a Relic World, except Aquatic gives a bonus on it instead of a penalty, and it also counts as an Ocean planet for Anglers.

I mean, you would assume an aquatic species could also use their version of a Ecumenopolis?
Why not let them have a flooded version? It does require the extra step of flooding it.

Ecumenopoli makes sense. Literally underwater cities covering the entire planet.
I could see there being both Flooded and Non-Flooded Relic worlds; but changing that sounds like something you couldn't do without messing with the Relic nature of the world.

There are plenty of cities in history on Earth that ended up underwater.
With submerged relic worls, it's just the whole planet.
Perhaps submerged relicworlds would have -50% job output? As the water currents complicates work conditions.
So you would want to restore them to submerged ecumenopolis ASAP.
No. Don't flooded relic suck. Justqke it have the bonuses and anti bonuses of the flooded condition.
Maybe flooded relic worlds replace the energy districts with agricultural districts?
Anglers civic works on them.
But doesn't benefit from increased ocean world habitability.
Just 70% base habitability for aquatic species and 50% for others.
