What I don't get, is... why dropping so near to it? We would be melted in a second I think, but that's not the issue... it's just painfull always seing the same thing all over the time again and again...
I've been "emergency stop" forced out of super cruise a few times when I still had the throttle up after jumping in.
And once there was no star visible right after exiting hyperspace so I just flew straight aheard towards a station - but it turned out there actually was a star there...
