Like what materials can be used for the architecture? Is carbon fiber the right choise? Might aluminium be better suited? All these questions have to be asked in order to create a world the player can believe in.
Which Material is the better Choice?
In this case, can the sphere be completely made out of carbon fiber? Since it is very expensive and hard to repair, aluminium might be the smarter choice for the basic structural work. Still, for smaller objects carbon fiber might be way more efficient, especially for moveable entities.
Besides basic materials energy plays a big role. The sphere is futuristic and self sustaining, it should work anywhere and without any fossil fuels. Sun energy then? What if it's too far away from any sun? Therefore the current resolution might be cold fusion.
These are just two examples to show, how important it is to research possibilities for any type of game based on its setting. But now I have to get back to... researching.
