Poor Teela Brown and Halrloprillalar Hotrufan. Cursed to be created in Ringworld and doomed to be written by Larry Niven. 😱

Stellar Array / Megastructure 001 - 

Stellar arrays are mega structural ring-worlds built by the Precursor’s; 12 of these arrays reside on the edges of each galaxy serving as intergalactic super weapons should an ancient threat reemerge; they also serve as research facilities & shield worlds. Each array is equivalent to the size of a galaxy indicating that metaphysical & technological architects allow it to maintain stability & integrity for its size, mass, function & habitability. 

I took inspiration from Halo’s design of their installations & put it to use into my own story ark that’s in the making. To add, I used green lights instead of blue followed by diamonds instead of circles to differentiate it from the ring-worlds Halo has. The ancient threat these megastructures were created to combat against are known as the Blight. Lastly; instead of these megastructures targeting the nervous system specifically I have them target all biological matter rather then one specific area of biology making them affective against the Blight along with these megastructures being about the same size as an entire galaxy.

I added more about the Stellar Array’s in the ALT text description if you want to know a little more context!

This is my biggest render job so far, a #ringworld called Kuklos. It features a custom design and instead of being an earth-like ring, it more closely resembles a habitable desert planet similar to Mars! I tried out more complex compositing on this one and am quite proud. Next is liminal spaces.

Great joke Larry Niven. I don't understand why people think you're sexist?

RuneQuest was probably the closest of the three gaming systems to compare with HERO. Good times. Loved me some Chaosium gaming, too. #ringworld #CoC #Runequest

#Ringworld If the shadow squares are made from woven shadow square wire, they could be less thickly woven over the last 10% at each edge, to simulate dawn and dusk.

#Ringworld Why aren't the shadow squares tapered in thickness to give the appearance of dusk?

Update on Ringworld: DNF at 48%. I do not understand, even for its time, how some things passed the editorial stage. When Louis Wu says that if Teela was not there, he may have had to rape Nessus, that was it. I could not read any more of that. #ringworld #misogyny #larryniven #reading #books

Sooo, I am reading "Ringworld" by Larry Niven. I am not liking it. It has some interesting ideas, but the characters are all cardboard, I don't care what happens to them. I am going to finish it though, because it is the November read for my sci-fi book club. #reading #books #ringworld #larryniven

Ringworld may be the 'grandaddy' of all the other giant ring adventures on tv, film, and online like "Halo".

The "alt" in the picture above describes the ring. It's size might also be the 'grandaddy' of all-things-impossible-to-wrap-your-head-around.

The Ringworld is about one million miles (1.6 million km) wide and approximately the diameter of Earth's orbit, encircling a sunlike star. It rotates to provide artificial gravity 99% as strong as Earth's from centrifugal force. It has a habitable inner surface (equivalent in area to approximately three million Earths), a breathable atmosphere, and a temperature optimal for humans. Night is provided by an inner ring of shadow squares which are connected to each other by thin, ultra-strong wire. (wikipedia)

Another five star re-read. Such great conceptualization. Silly story by today's standards, but breakthrough space opera IMHO.

Larry Niven on creating Ringworld, a 'great gaudy intellectual toy' The author of the award-winning classic science fiction novel, the latest read for the New Scientist Book Club, on the science behind his creation

How did the famous #Ringworld novels come about & develop, and what do they mean? Author Larry Niven explains—a bit.

In my dreams, I'm tagging along with Louis Wu and his companions as we journey across the #Ringworld— from one end to the other (or however Dyson rings work). We're uncovering ancient mysteries, confronting the consequences of its creators' choices... I packed snacks for everyone.

Decided to crack open my manga version of Larry Niven’s classic “Ringworld”. So much has been left out it feels a bit disjointed at times but it’s still enough to fill two volumes. #larryniven #ringworld #manga

#Ringworld by Larry Niven reminded me of Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke. Ringworld's characters are way out there and the twist at the end is good. Finished on April 16th 2023.

Lets talk about Niven’s Ringworld TL;DR . Before we can start understanding my Dyson sphere conjecture, we need to understand Nivin’s Ringworld. There are technical details...

Anyone looking for a refresher on Niven's #ringworld, I just posted a short one. I'm working up to a blog post on a new type of #DysonSphere, but before I can get to that, I need my readers to know some #megastructure history.
