mod idea: hidden stars

[LogicalDash]

I have an idea for a simple mod to the game.

In each game, there are between (say) 0 and 5 hidden neutron stars on the map. You stumble across these the same way you do with black holes, though hopefully without the popup text. If you find these and visit them, you'll get a big bonus to exploration, and they're also home to stasis cones. These hidden stars cannot be found using the Hyperdrive.

Can anyone help me out--tell me how to modify the code for the black holes to this effect? I have never modded, nor otherwise programmed before.

That's as far as the idea is right now. Maybe if I make this, I'll start toying with grander hairbrained schemes.
