Is it possible to mod in real energy flux near stars?

Stuff gets pretty funky at less than 10 stellar radius.

Energy flux is calculated from surface of star as it was center of star meaning on distance of one star radius from star you get solar flux equal to what you should get when you were right on surface of star.

Currently its E/d^2 while it should be E/(d+r)^2, where E is energy output on area of 1 square meter, d is distance from surface of star and r is radius of star.

This makes missions near stars much harder than it should be - at around 3 star radius stars seems to double their normal output and at 2 star radius they suddenly get 4x brigher.

You can guess they go full supernova when going near surface of star.
