Re: Has anyone ever conquered a ringworld full of weapon platforms?
Isn't a planet (ringworld included) limited to firing at a max of 10 targets per round, not including PD firing at seekers/fighters? If so, a large enough fleet could deal significant damage to such a planet, even assuming it loses 10 ships per round and no seekers or fighters get close enough. The planet would also have the range advantage due to weapon platform mounts. But I definitely think it is possible.
