Default Re: Simultaneous Movement (PBW) Stellar Manipulation?

Strategic benefit? Placing it as far from warppoints as possible will help slow down enemy sun-busters. (A system near the edge of the map may have all WPs on one side)
Alternatively, you could place the star on a warppoint, eventually generating a ringworld to use as warppoint defense

Probably easier to just move the warppoints around the star instead.

You may also want to place the star on an asteroid field, so that you get a sphereworld with a planet and/or moons.
That type of situation is good for training facilities.
It would also allow your planet to defend against sunbusters with the full benefits of spaceyard and huge cargo space for fighters and such.
