I may not be a pro, but I have a challenge. You have to build a DYSON sphere around the sun. No cheating or mods. Glitches and part clipping are allowed. It has to go all the way around the sun. Please show photos or videos. This is not for the faint of heart. It may not even be possible. Good luck.

It's been long we haven't had a Dyson sphere challenge... However if you want to challenge others you have to do it first. I wish you good luck :)

That's not the spirit. Experienced players won't spend countless hours just to test if your challenge is doable. It's very easy for you to set the challenge, but the others have to do the job? I'll be frank, we won't. That's why we set as a rule that players must do their own challenge first, to make sure that it's realistically doable.

However I already made a mission to send a probe in low solar orbit, you'll find it here. It needed a massive launcher and 6 hours of ion engine burn just to send a single probe. I won't do this multiple times to create a Dyson sphere, that's totally unrealistic.

This is a video of how I will make the Dyson swarm / sphere / circle
The Sun ingame has a radius around 35000 kilometers. I let you calculate its circumference... Are you sure you want to do that?

Also, this is an object in low solar orbit:

Just so you know about the speed you can expect to encounter close to the Sun.

  1. Fuck ton of ∆v required
  2. Infinite build is not allowed
  3. Mercury Kraken
  4. You can barely dock to another craft because it's so bright
This challenge is not doable for probably most of everyone​

The only possible way is if we had no drag. you could glitch stretch a strut to be ridiculously long and then use a beefy rocket to Launch it to LSOand then do this a bunch of times and join them up.
