gollark: Did you know?
gollark: The Ringworld ringworld actually has some handwavey way to induce solar flares for maneuvering, as well as a bunch of Bussard ramjet-ish engines.
gollark: Inasmuch as any big thing which harvests power from stars is, yes.
gollark: It also isn't stable wrt. the star, so you'll need a way to move the ring around to keep the star in the middle.
gollark: There's no day-night cycle, which you might find unpleasant. This can be solved by having a smaller inner ring which is only half filled in and doesn't spin. You can also stick solar panels on there for free power.
