= Dyson Ring Guide =
A Dyson Ring is a huge structure you build around the central star of a solar system. Once it is complete, it supplies '''unlimited energy''' to all of your planets in that solar system, even planets without generators. This guide covers the mechanic; the research that unlocks it is listed in the catalog as [[Dyson Ring]].

== Unlock ==
Research [[Dyson Ring]] (maximum level 1) to unlock construction. It needs [[Energy Research]] 40, [[Energy Grid (Research)]] 4, [[Energy Density]] 16, [[Matter Compression]] 20 and [[Engine Engineering]] 22. The research takes an extremely long time, measured in years; this is intended, because the ring is a late-game goal.

== Build a ring ==
# Open the central star of a solar system where you own at least one planet, from [[Galaxy]]. Its Dyson Ring page shows the ring's state and the build form.
# Choose a '''funding planet''': one of your own planets in that solar system. The page lists which planets can pay the full cost.
# Start construction. The cost is paid at once from that planet; no transport fleet is needed. The cost is '''8,000,000,000 Aslit, 6,000,000,000 Crlit, 4,000,000,000 Iopla and 500,000,000 SEM'''.
# Construction takes '''seven real days''', regardless of the server's game speed. You can follow the progress and completion time on the ring's page.

Only one live ring can exist per star. If a star already has a ring, nobody can start another there until it is gone. Your rings are listed in the planet panel for quick access.

== Effect ==
A completed ring gives unlimited energy to your planets in the same solar system. Energy stops being a limit for their mines, SEM factory and buildings there. It only helps the owner's planets, and only for that one solar system. A ring that is still being built gives no energy.

== Hull and shield ==
A ring has hull and shield values that grow as it is built. At full progress the base values are 50,000,000 hull and 5,000,000 shield, each raised by 10% per level of your Hull Plating and Energy Shield research respectively. The page shows current and maximum values. A destroyed ring stops supplying energy, and its star becomes free for a new ring.

== Alliance defense ==
Members of your alliance can '''station fleets at your ring''', and you can station at theirs. Use the '''Station''' mission in [[Fleet Operations]] to send ships to the star. Stationed ships remain there and help defend it. Fleets can only remain while the ring exists and its owner is in your alliance.

== Tips ==
* Pick the solar system where you own the most planets, since the ring only helps your planets there.
* Gather the full cost on one planet before starting. Resources on other planets do not count.
* Agree with your alliance on who guards the ring.
