Default Solar flares

Hey everybody. I see from SOHO that our dependable sun is at it again - Biggest solar flare in quite a while {Link}. Now these flares can occasionally cause some minor problems on Earth. But I wonder about other stars and other planets.

I've often thought of making an event - Solar Flare: Production reduced due to major solar activity, yadda yadda. I never did it because, it just didn't seem satisfying as an event.

So, a question, what do you think a good event for major solar activity should be. And don't just limit opinions to what's possible in SE4 -- I'd like SE5 to have a solar event like, for 2 years shields in system are at 50 % or x points of hull damage per month, and so forth.
