Well, I did all the guidelines that Moriarty lists and I put movement points on all the ships and yet it will still not create.

Consider yourself lucky. I made a ringworld and it's all but un-usable. Shortly after I decided to not play another game until the real (non-beta) version is released.

"un-usable" in what sense?

Well, I couldn't select it (the ringworld), so it was difficult to impossible to build anything on it, or do much of anything with it, really. I couldn't park any ships over it either.

This is a weird side-effect of the multi-sector design. As I recall you click on the star sector and you'll find the ringworld is 'in' that sector as well.

That's odd. It works perfectly fine for me.

Or wait a minute...I haven't tried building a ringworld. I built a sphereworld and thatworks just fine. If I get some time today I will test out a ringworld to see if it works ok for me.

I've been successful in building/colonizing both ring and sphereworlds. Although I did have trouble getting the colonizer to colonize the sphereworld (it took several tries).

I'd appreciate if someone would post the designs for the ships they used to create Sphere/Ring worlds, where in the system they placed them, system composition and such. Just want to see what I'm getting wrong (like does star size matter?).
