Subject: [GZG] Bigger Than Worlds (was Ringworld)
Greetings: Dig around for a Niven essay called "Bigger Than Worlds". I think it is in a collection called "A Hole in Space", probably others. He details various artificial worlds, from asteroid to Dyson Sphere, etc. One of the worlds is a ramjet ring. More like an O'Neil colony diameter, not a solar-system-spanning Ringworld diameter. So your RW model could double for one of those ships, making it more in scale with your FT minis! Fred Kiesche (FPK3) My books are water; those of great geniuses are wine. Everybody drinks water.
