Yeah, I wish that were possible, too.

It's too bad that you have make a hard choice: build a ring world, OR wait until you research sphere worlds. If you decide to build the ring world, the star is permanently 'used up' and the possibility of constructing a sphere world there is lost forever.

Here's the next best thing. As soon as you have ringworld tech, start building 10 plating bases and 10 cables bases and 1 ringworld base (longest to construct, so start first). In the time it takes to build the ringworld base, research the sphereworld component (3 more levels of SM) you can have significant progress on the ringworld base. You can then design a sphereworld base and upgrade your ringworld base after it's constructed to a sphereworld base BEFORE you create. Saves some construction time on your sphereworld.

Slick.
