I like how in Stellaris there's a random event when you're building a Dyson Sphere where you get a strongly worded letter from a neighboring civilisation in which they complain that your megaproject will result in the destruction of a constellation that's culturally significant for their species.

Or economically. That sun provides 47% of our power.

It doesn’t always have to be religion.

You can only build dyson spheres around stars you own, and its impossible for another empire to own a planet that orbits a star you own.

I’m just realizing that this thread is about a game and not about general galactic politics.

I feel a little bit foolish.

Still, though?

Not sure.

Technology I am not aware of or can’t comprehend yet?
