    as @guest1 said:

    if you don't want to mess around with files and code and such (I didn't), then you just use the crater CSG as a subtractive brush and scale it up massively.
    • use it to carve out the "ring section" by first cutting off the top and the bottom area of the planet to start forming your ring.
    • after you do that you will have a cylinder looking planet.
    • go back to edit CGI mode and scale the brush down a little and move it to just under the surface of the planet.
    • past these "craters" around the ring and around the top and the bottom of the planet. This will form the "sphere" in the center.
    after some trial and error you will get it.

    Thanks!
    haha, actually I put that there. It is rather scaled up too.

    [edit]
    thought I might as well upload it here. it should also be on system sharing under the same name.

    I wonder if we could break the system editor a little and get it to allow us to place a gas giant within a ring world, or if we could place additive csgs in orbit of the gas giant to make something pathable.

    OMG! I wonder if placing a ring on a gaz giant would be enough on it's own to make air pathing it's way on gaz giants possible.
