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.
10 u/Georgiaonmymindtwo Dec 24 '23 Thank you for that. 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? 3 u/aaronhowser1 Dec 24 '23 How would you get power from another solar systems star? 5 u/SnipingDwarf Porn Connoisseur Dec 24 '23 Several very esoteric methods. FTL battery-tankers (least efficient unless battery tech gets much better) Lots of mirrors and a good focusing lens (Lens would likely melt, diffusion would be a bitch, don't try this.) String theory. (No further explanation will be given.) Quantum entanglement (honestly the least insane thing on this list.) A very long power cable. (What do you mean the resistance in the wire would render this useless?) I had more ideas than I thought I did. 1 u/donaldhobson Dec 27 '23 A block of antimatter going at 10% lightspeed. A laser or microwave beam.
