Hey /dsg/, was the megastructure in Blame! a dyson sphere?
Post dyson spheres here.Or Breen grubs.

Dead meme, just like HL series.
>>388615043
What's a stain sphere? Isn't that a kind of vacuum cleaner?
>>388615043
It wasn't a dyson sphere, it was a solid dyson onion. It had so much density that it had to be built from a material immune to the laws of thermodynamics and more mass than the entire galaxy combined.
is that blame or something else. if its something else what is it
>>388615790
It's Blame
aww
>>388615903
he asked if it was SOMETHING ELSE then what is it
it wasnt SOMETHING ELSE
IDIOT

When are superstructures getting their own board
would something as massive as a dyson sphere fuck up the orbits of planets?
>>388616214
If you were talking about a regular hollow sphere and assuming you don't instantly teleport it into position. You will have to build all sections equally to avoid pulling the planets off orbit. But when it is finished, the centre of gravity should be directly on the sun itself so it would be as if the sun gained additional mass.

Ssssshhhhhhh
>>388616152
It will be /ss/ and replace [s4s].

ARTIFACT SHILL GET OUUTTTTTT
RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Damn, that's some Culture level technological might right there.
>Marc describes Combine as chaotic, without a central command, spreading like cancer and explanations/origins of many technologies that they use are lost even to them, they just keep making the shit because they always did
If you change a few plot points, the structure of BLAME! could easily be the combine HQ.
>Dyson Swarm
Specifically half a million rings of O'Neill cylinders stretching around the Sun, each ring containing one million 500 km diameter, 10,000 km long cylinders. That's 500 billion cylinders total in the Solar System. If each cylinder has half of its living land area devoted to glass walls to let sunlight in, that's still as much living space as the land area of Russia.
If every ring contains one hundred million people then the total population of the Solar System would become 50 quintillion people.
All of them have personal computers. Imagine that internet. Even if there were half a million internets (one for each orbital ring of O'Neill Cylinders due to each ring being connected by fibre optic cable whereas communication with other orbits would be tight band laser comms) that's still 100 Trillion people on the internet.

Stellar distances between users would mean killer lag though

You'd still have orders of magnitude more effective users and activity than now.

Superstructures are not the type of content that I would normally expect from an /ss/ board
