Evolution Orbitals

ok would it be possible to make a ship be able to evolve into an orbital and also for orbitals them selves being able to evolve into other orbitals. at the moment they they just blow up after the evolution has been finished

as far as i know the orbital facilities cant exist without being "docked" to a planet, and evolution would not allow that. so i would guess no, but i never messed around with them much

What about a constructor that dissappears when it's finished building said orbital?

well i know currently its not possible but would still like to have it one day for now could use the defender to build it the old fashioned way

i actually had a concept design for a borg orbital station that docked with dilithium moons.  as it was upgraded it would become more independent and protective of the moon it harbors. 

upon build it would partially engulf the moon, like a crescent
stage 2 would build double its mining efficiency.  an extractor beam would auto defend against any incoming freighters or anything of other species built too close to it
stage 3 would completely engulf the moon, blocking any other competition from using the moon, until the station is destroyed.

Nice, but for stage two, maybe a complete ring around the moon?

All your orbitals, are belong to us!

couldn't resist.
