Planetary rings - another suggestion

[Puke]

somewhere i heard that if you condensed saturns rings, it would fill a suitcase. or maybe that was haley's commet's tail. in any event, i dont think you are getting a heck of alot of resources out of a planets rings, but someone with a cool nasa link could probably prove me wrong.

what would also be cool, is if planetary rings were a kind of stellar construction. you could use them as extra space, or as huge defensive weapon platforms. of course, i still am in favor of being able to construct hive facilities on planets that increase available space at a massive resource cost. not sure what reminded me of that, but its a good idea, says me.
