What To Do With a Dead Star?

Bridge, LS, Quarters, one Solar Panel, a Spaceyard, fill the remaining space with engines (3 or 5, I forget how many LS/CQ a Cruser needs).

The Cruiser Hull with space yard will hold 5 engines and nothing else -- it's all I ever use that ship size for anyway. Your solar panels would make it hold 4 engines. I usually put 5 on and leave it at that. It can return to resupply once it's done building that base. I usually turn on emergency build, so I have a year to waste for the resupply and travel time.

If I wanted it to accompany my fleet, then I'd probably use the battle ship hull - so it could hold max engines, solar sail, and not slow the fleet down.
