Is it ever possible to upgrade a Ringworld into a Sphere?
Do you have to blackhole the system, and start from scratch, or can you destroy the ring, or merely use a sphereworld generator (plus cables and plating) on the ring?
IIRC neither idea will work. I don't believe you can use the black hole generator anymore after the star is built into a RW or SW. Also, since their is
technically no star there anymore, you shouldn't be able to use the SW gererator to "upgrade" it.
