Ringed Stars, where are they?

Why don't we have ringed stars? They either have planets, or don't, but non has the intermediate protoplanetary disc surrounding it. Has this been forgotten by FD? Well I have seen Brown dwarfs with discs, but only IF they orbit around another star. But otherwise, never seen Primary ringed stars, even in stellar forges.

Would be beautiful like this:

No, they are out there, but with 400 billion systems it's just random luck to come across them.

I have seen a few, normally cool dwarf stars if I recall correctly, while out on exploration trips. I don't think that I have seen a yellow or white ringed star yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they exist.

Out in the depth's, I've seen single systems with 5-6 ringed suns and many more gas giants.

Out near Maia there's loads of Brown Dwarfs with rings, although they tend to be used as oversized gas giants rather than as actual stars as they are nearly always orbiting a bright white star.

OP was speaking about primary stars with a protoplanetary disk or accretion disk and not about nested stars or brown dwarfs which are orbiting a primary star. And OP is right that there are indeed no primary stars with rings. I have been in well over 20,000 systems and not seen it once and I have never ever seen a a screenshot (of the system map) which shows an accretion disk around a primary star. What you guys are talking about are stars or brown dwarfs which orbit another primary stars, because those have rings relatively often. Although those are usually only limited to neutron stars, white dwarfs, brown dwarfs, sub-brown dwarfs and T tauri stars. Main sequence stars orbiting another massive star seem to never have rings.

I agree that it would be really great if we could get single or any primary stars which have rings.

There's 3 of them with a few black holes in the beacon called "Collection of wonders" roughly 11kly out, I only remember part of the system name. Skaude AAA-H294? Something like that I'm not quite sure how it was

I've personally encountered many ringed Ys, Ts, and Ls, a few ringed Ms, WDs, two NS, and one ringed K. I've seen someone else's screenshots of a ringed G.

A few things:

1. As far as I've seen stars with visible rings are always child objects, so your best bet for hunting them is in Herbig Ae/Be systems and black holes.
2. An interesting note: asteroid belts are considered rings (you can see this when you look at the scan entry in the journal for a body with an asteroid belt.)
3. Sometimes the star may have an invisible ring. It is still there! Just very sparse so you can't really see it very easily. If you use the semi-major axis numbers from the journal you can fly out to the approximate location of the ring then inch verrrrrry slowly (<1Mm/s) toward to to drop in. The ring will usually be rotating on the same plane as other objects orbiting the star the ring is around.

Thank you all for your replies.

I must appologize for talking about ringed stars. Because the rings we see ingame and those you are all referring to are ridiculous when compared to a protoplanetary disk, which are several dozen of AU in diameter. FD basically just took planetary rings and adapted them to the stars, which is . Also, protoplanetary disks are not found around old dwarfs, but around young giants. According to observations of the hubble telescope, about 50% of the young stars inn stellar forges have a huge protoplanetary disk around them.

But seen as there are no proto-stars either, it's maybe a bit ambitious. And also difficult to render, maybe.

I think its an issue of Computing power.

Id love to see an accretion disk around black holes but i dont think many systems could render it.
