You can escape a neutron cone,
I 100% agree with "real risk" dropping you from SC while in the cone would be a welcome (and amazing) risk to supercharging if i'm honest, a simple
1 % FSD damage for a superboost is pretty much non-risk boring everyday yawn fest if you ask me especially with an AFMU which negates any damage done.
to escape you need to low wake back into SC (it will damage your ship but it works) then get out of the cone - example here below, the first 10 seconds show you how not to do it trying to HW

The disconnect and re-spawn in the cone is annoying though and this shouldn't be part of any game mechanic, but real risk... YES PLEASE!
That doesn't work if you hit the exclusion zone as you have to align with the escape vector.
I'm happy with risk but there should be the possibility of escape if you hit the exclusion zone in a cone - currently you are dead unless you get a lucky pass of the escape vector and manage to boost at the right second.
I'm happy for it to be difficult but not RNG/luck based...
