Matrioshka Brain

[tonberrian]

Am I the only one disappointed that the Science Nexus isn't a Matrioska Brain?

That's what I assumed it would be. I think it's a missed opportunity, really.

Maybe the science nexus could be moved over to Voidborne, and a Jupiter Brain could replace it in the proper megastructures list?

Another mega-structure I'm missing? Death Star. Now that would be a proper flagship for a fleet.

It would also make more sense in the game mechanics if they were built around stars. Currently, the science nexus can only be built around planets, yet it prevents you from building multiple in the same system or even with a Dyson sphere, even though they do not compete for the same stellar body.

So... you want two different Dyson spheres?

I prefer some distinction between the different structures.

Also, lore-wise, the Science Nexus is powered by a singularity or something. Its power source is appropriately absurd already.
