Query for those with a sense of humour who know things architect.

The obvious knee jerk reaction is "No don't do it you fool!' but my attention was drawn to this one star system with just the single (initial) build slot.
I reckon it's gonna be pretty toasty that close in - my instinct was to build a T3 station just, well just because I could, to be honest.

Would I even get the lounge bar I dream of, to sit and drink and watch the slowly expiring and expanding star swallow the station?

Should I or shouldn't I?
What (if anything) would you build?

Spoiler: An illustration of my conundrum

I’d put down a scientific outpost. Pretend it’s there to study the dying star, but if this is a silly one-off…

And it’s rather likely that its expansion occurs slowly enough for a station to move outward safely as that process continues, since they should have systems in place to correct their orbital trajectory, if necessary. Until it actually has to be abandoned because of the star going boom or shedding its outer layers, but that’s likely to be so far in the future to not be a concern to whoever builds it.

(I’m also not sure if the stellar forge models such behavior for old stars anyway)

If you build a Tier 2/3 you won't see anything from the lounge except the inside of the station.

Yesterday refueled at an exactly the same system, a single Coriolis next to the Sun.
IIRC, it was Military economy with just a few products.

If you built a four truss Coriolis you could fit solar sails between the trusses to move the station outward.
