Danger, Will Robinson

Face it, hauling cargo is dangerous. Bounty hunting, dangerous. Smuggling, dangerous. Exploration, not so much. Where are the solar mass ejections, deadly or damaging HEP storms, worlds that have collided and left a demolition derby in their wakes? Yeah, we can get tired and headbutt a star, or have FD give an oopsie close encounter binary jump, or even forget to put your landing gear down, but those are pilot errors mostly. Where is the environmental danger? Space isn't just big, it is downright homicidal.
 
the problem with the FSD is that the ship AI does a pretty good job of preventing the ship from coliding into astronomical bodies.
however I would like to see more up-close and personal scenarios like a massive explosion causing asteroids to shift and collide in an asteroid belt requiring evasive action, or even earthquakes that cause the ground to split and leave your ship in danger of being swallowed up. or debris in a station coming at you while a station is under attack forcing you to preform evasive maneuvers to the airlock

And you forgot to mention that a lot of these changes were requested by new explorers wandering out into the void and being trapped between two stars and fricasseed etc.

I always enjoyed the thrill of pooping into a system and finding myself surrounded by hot stuff, made for some interesting moments, now we just appear so far away you actually have to spend a fair amount of time flying in to fuel scoop.
