I was idly thinking of Dyson Spheres and solar energy when this idea came to me: say you were technologically advanced enough to build a perfect, Dyson sphere and were able to deal with the problems of drift--in other words you belong to a really, technologically advanced civilization! It occurs to me that you would probably build something like this around a Class-B or Class-A star because you could build another smaller, globular structure around the Class-B star that could shield the inhabitants from really dangerous emissions from the star--and the globular shield could use such higher energy emissions to produce energy and possibly even exotic matter. You would need the globular shield anyway to give the inhabitants the semblance of day and night, why not use it for production as well?
Because of the level of assumed technological ability of builders what I'm about to ask may be a ridiculous question--but I'm going ask anyway: What would be the advantages and disadvantages of building such a structure around a Class-B or Class-A star?
