This costs too much to be worth it. The more a creature benefits from this, the less it needs it.

Just what the B.F.M needed...an equipment to make him even bigger!

Fully agree it should have been a Tribal Eldrazi Equipment, but also the EQ cost should have been simply landfall, and then this would have been an eye popping card well worth playing.
This card was designed to help Fling decks.
Brion Stoutarm comes to mind. Just keep dropping 2 & 3 drops and chucking for 5-7 each hit. The 4 EQ cost gets in the way though.
Otherwise you use other spells/abilities that use a creatures power/toughness as its X or output. Typically a life gain spell.
Doesn't seem worth it. Junk Rare/Gimmick Deck status. Something you put in an EDH/Commander deck for giggles.

The art doesn't really convey the feeling of a superstructure. The alien ships in Independence Day convey the feeling of a superstructure.
I just know that people are going to sneak this into {UW} Stoneforge Mystic Shape Anew decks that want something to throw onto Blightsteel Colossus.

I've got a few of these in my white/red deck at the moment... And I really like them. Works really nicely for keeping those important creatures alive, such as Linvala, Keeper of Silence. :D
Honestly though, I would've like to see some sort of combination between this and Eldrazi Con***ion, perhaps with a CMC of about 6 or so...
For example: "Equipped creature gets +X/+X and has Trample, where X is 10 less the cards converted mana cost". Or "Enchanted creature gets...." if it was an Enchantment instead of Equipment.
So equipping Linvala would give her +6/+6 (10 minus 4 CMC) and Trample, while equipping something like Hand of Emrakul (since it's already insanely strong) would only give it +1/+1 and Trample. I think that would make this card a bit more appealing to a wider range of players...
