New methodology for damaging ships...

If it's restricted to systems with "plagued by solar activity" warnings in the F7 screen, then new players can avoid it. I haven't done a thorough check but I don't think there are many of these in key Jameson-friendly systems in Galaxy 1.

There really aren't many near Lave.

Random unconnected idea: could the location of the Nova mission be re-assigned to the first "plagued by solar activity" system the player jumps to in Gal 4 (perhaps with an exception if it's the very first system; or "the first system after the third jump")?

Now that's a nice idea - has a nice touch of consistency about.
