Problem Description

At the moment, the game checks the danger level for the system in order to compute the colors for the danger map and when calculating what path you should take to get from system A to system B. However, there is no way for missions and the like to access this data.

Desired Solution

danger level: <system> that returns an integer value from 0 up, which is some measurement of your danger. 0 means no danger (green on the map), and higher numbers mean more danger.

Alternative Approaches

You could do something similar to what naev does, and have it instead be a number from 0 to 100 or 1000 that represents the proportion of ships that are hostile to the player, weighted by cost. Naev calculates only the “strongest faction,” but the idea of using how often a faction appears in a system is what naev does.

Additional Context

The most useful feature that this would enable is actually music, as if music adds the ability to check player conditions, it could also check the danger level, and play different music depending on how safe the system is. However, there is one coalition mission that has a different route than the player might take due to this danger level, so this might be useful here as well.
EDIT: Another place this could work is bounty missions, as this could let you not allow bounty missions in systems with no danger (as there would be no pirates). It would also mean no bounty missions if you are friendly with pirates, but that makes sense so I don’t think that’s an issue.
