supercharge FSD when scooping extremely close to coronal loops off stars

Now that colliding with conoral loops is a thing, there should be some incentive to risk that danger.

I propose a very small window where you can get a boost when fuel scooping by coming extremely close to the loops. The charge rate increases if you are near multiple loops simultaneously (when their windows overlap). The charge counter resets when you high jump out (or logout). These loops supercharge windows will cause an increase in heat in the ship that is lessened by scooping at a higher sc speed than minimum.

I think the above will make for some exciting scooping adventures compared to normal. Bonus if fdev adds some ship shaking / nav jitter when in that supercharge window.
 
Yeah I've already found myself flying through (or under) the loops for funsies and really wished the game rewarded it in some way. It'd be fun if it gave a supercharge, even if it was like, just +30% (compared to +50% of white dwarfs). It'd probably need its own toggle in navigation auto-path to be worth it though.
