Stranded!

Went to the Formidine Rift in a 35Ly Anaconda; apparently the galaxy loves 41Ly ships...
I've self destructed and back home I'm afraid! Currently selling my fleet to fund an Anaconda but thanks for the advice!
Sorry but support tickets are to redress bugs, not pilot error. They are not some sort of get out of jail free card.
I like this guy/gal
That's the new thing. Pilots that mess up ask support to fix it. All the cool kids do it
Yeah that was your only option I'm afraid. Still kudos for getting a Cobra stranded out there! When you explore the galaxy long enough mistakes are a matter of when, not if, we've all been there. I blew my Asp up on the surface of a 6+g planet two days after Horizons went live, I've lost my Vulture a couple of times in combat zones, I totalled a mining T6 against an asteroid about a year ago, it ain't called Elite Dangerous for nothing!

Yeah, I've noticed that too, hence my remark. I hope fdev put at stop to it. It began when they started teleporting explorers to Sol and back when the exploding SRV bug struck, and people inevitably started taking the mick.
For some reason they couldn't replace the SRV on the road, so that was the only solution.
Being sent back and forth because of a bug and not having the option of it being replaced where they were, doesn't deserve to be taken the mick of. The SRV is a vital factor in the DW trip. If it explodes through to player error, that's just tough, live with it. If it's because of a bug, FD should remedy that situation.
I seriously hope they won't. It would really take the teeth out of taking that sort of risk if support is willing to just bail us out.
Yes you are a bit confused. As others have said you cannot transfer, I know what you are referring to since I was online during that rescue. The fuel rats used srvs to shoot the materials from ground objects and the stranded cmdr scooped them in his ship. Key point being in that case there was a planet with jumponium, at no point did the fuel rat ships transfer anything, they just helped with finding materials. In this case there were no planets with suitable materials.
In answer to the Op yes the only 2 options are support ticket or the red button. Or wait until a future update where we may or may not be able to transfer. Good luck with your new endeavours
This... is what I feared would happen.
The Dark tempts and leads astray.
So what happens if another player spikes their own fuel with a Premium FSD Boost, then sends a limpet over to a second ship with 1t of that spiked fuel?
If the game doesn't model that, it damn well should. Raise a ticket if it doesn't work!

For anybody else that finds them self in the same situation, there is one other EXTREMELY remote possibility.
If you can find a crashed ship that has a cargo container, you can shoot it open and sometimes you can find materials inside that are NOT "native" to the planet that you're on i.e. outside of the 3 2 1 rule of materials found on planets.
It would have about the same chance (or less) of winning the jackpot in a lottery, and you'd probably go mad long before you found the right material needed to jump out, but it is a possibility.

Repped. This idea I like!

Too bad the OP had to take the self destruct.
One of the suggestions made actually DOES work: I have successfully jumped a distance beyond what my FSD is capable by heading toward the target system in supercruise until I've closed the distance gap. Once the target system is within your jump range you can make the jump. It does take hours of flying at 2,001c but it can be done.
