This OXP adds some dust rings to a few planets in each galaxy. Whether those rings are traditional gas giant rings or debris rings from industry or long-past battles depends on your planet texture OXP.

Download
Download using the extension manager in the game, or using the following link: System Features: Rings 2.3. (Requires Oolite 1.80 or later)
24/07/2017 - Version 2.3:
- code cleanup.
- rings fade into blue when entering the atmosphere (such as when using PlanetFall).
20/07/2017 - Version 2.2:
- smaller ring bands and grains only visible at closer distance.
- improved the issues with moire pattern, in particular at lower resolutions.
20/07/2017 - Version 2.1:
- the large gaps in the rings are now randomized making each system more unique.
- the colour gradient function is also randomized for more unique rings.
- renamed the effect script.
19/07/2017 - Version 2.0:
- rings now have different relative sizes to the planet.
- they also have different radial length.
- applied a slight yellow tint.
- applied ambient light.
- shadows are darker.
- changed the spawning algorithm which, among other things, make the rings more common.
- ring now uses a colour gradient instead of a texture (which is now only used to generate noise).
Version 1.2:
- use 1.80 features, repackage.
Version 1.1:
- improved ring texture and appearance contributed by ZygoUgo.
Version 1.0:
- initial non-beta release.
Requirements
A shader-supporting graphics card is required, the more recent the better. Older shader-supporting cards may be too slow to render the rings at an adequate framerate.
Images
Rings now have different thickness
As well as different number of main gaps (in this case, 2)
As we get closer, their granular structure becomes visisble
