USS Spawning Distance, and Other Things

Hello!
Just some feedback.
HGEs, particularly seem to like to spawn thousands of light seconds away from pretty much anything.
Not to whine, but this only serves to waste time in supercruise, while not particularly doing anything for gameplay at all.
It doesn't make much sense for these to be located in the middle of nowhere.
I've had some appear 56,000ls in a system which is only about 7000ls wide.
I mean, what was the ship doing out there? Lol

Anyhoo, my first suggestion is simply spawn them closer to bodies in the system.
It doesn't matter which body, but it just makes sense that they wouldn't been in deep space on the way to no where.

Second suggestion!
Popping in and out of near empty USSs, like some sort of space vacuum cleaner is a very strange mechanic.
My suggestion is add some "spice" to USS spawns, by adding threat levels to them, meaning you may have to fight, or defend, ships, who may then drop those high grade materials on death, or drop them because you saved them.
Threat 0 is always empty, but threat 1-4 have a higher spawn of materials if you complete the objective given or chosen.

So a threat 4 HGE might be a wing of pirates wanting to kill you.
You kill them, they drop even more goodies than normal. Fun!

Thoughts?
