Charge of the light brigade

[verbosity]

I was doing a little solar mining, and I noticed a crate of goodies, but having been burnt before I refrained from going to collect. I then noticed over the course of the next few minutes, that almost every ship went for the stray cargo. Tis fun to watch ship after ship blow up, but you'd think that some would choose to not go for the high risk surface of the sun goodies........

I'm also surprised that you don't collect fuel faster when nearer a sun ( say at a grav of 1790) than you do when farther away (say 1000 grav) at least no noticible difference.....
