"Real" ringworlds

I mean these things are, in theory, massive. A classic Version would have a radius close to that of a planet, so it should be a few squares across at least.

Also, they are more than 5 times a huge planet in total size. Ringworlds should be at least 5 times that in suface width! ...Any ideas?

The way I see it, a planet/ringworld is much, much smaller than the sector it is in. I mean, if you fight in Tactical combat, a Huge Planet will not even take up 1/20th of the screen!

I do think that Sphere/Ringworlds should be bigger in combat, though. It would make a good strategic touch to have to maneuver around that hulking landmass - or use it as a shield
