How will artificial structures be featured in PA?

From the maps in supreme commander 2 and all RTS in general I always like to play on artificial structures (Corvana Chasms, Mirror Island, Tourney dome, etc.). Will similar structures be featured in PA?

I would like to find these structures like fortresses to provide strategic advantages and interesting playgrounds. Making your headquarters in a solar system in a giant fortress, launching invasions from orbital platforms and such.

Would anyone agree on such a type of structure generation?

Venturing a guess, metal planets will probably feature something like this. They are basically artificial structures in their own right.

Superstructures are a cool idea, certainly, but they're also a question of how to implement. Should they be a source of metal, like metal worlds were in Total Annihilation? That might make them a potentially incredible resource, which could be a bit troublesome for balance purposes. On the other hand, that problem already exists on a much larger scale with Metal planets, so hey.

What would you envision the purpose of these objects being? I mean, if it's just to look really sweet, that sounds great to me- Building my base in the bowl of an ancient radio telescope sounds awesome, and doesn't necessarily need material bonuses, so long as it's not gonna be a huge penalty or something.

For those who may not know:


This is Mirror Island from Supreme Commander 2, it basically is a map with some giant fortresses. Im speaking about maybe adding similar structures to the terrain generator adding locations with significant advantages, not immediately speaking of actually reclaiming the structure for metal, but more for strategic advantages and general awesome looking stuff.

And what about adding captureable 'Tech structures' like in the C&C series?
