all you need to do is compress lots of material into a thin sheet
Then why are the rings the spinning rings?
The rings use centripetal force to create gravity, probably because it was easier, or cheaper, or made sense with a ring.
As for the compressed materials, it is shown that the Covenant (and by the transitive property the Forerunners) have a better understanding and control over gravity than simply creating dense objects. After all, in order to create a ship with earth-like gravity (9.8 m/s) it would require a massive amount of materials, and would weigh so much that it would be nearly impossible to move.
It would need to be the mass of the earth compressed to neutron star density, which is absurd.
