Now I want to see an orbital ring.

[@stanleybowman-hood6194]

Yes

[@ryanrising2237]

With a lot of time, it might work using this technique, but I don’t think you could do anything cool with it. You’d still only see 2.5km of segments, and you wouldn’t be able to drive on it or anything cause it’s orbital. I don’t think you could even dock to it without running the risk of loading physics from a new root part.

Thanks! Its not loading physics for the 3000 parts, so I think it will be better than you expect. Its nothing like the lag of the 100 kiloton rocket that I built.
