Newcomer / Intro Can't get there from here... kinda stuck...

[Happy Daze]

Noob here... Apologies for the silly question...

I am trying to make some credit doing res bounty hunting in Kremainn. There was a job hunting them so I took it. Here I am at Kremainn 2, Gas Giant, and the map won't take me to Wohler Terminal - Route Unavailable. I am at Kremainn 2. I don't understand why I can't get directions. How do I get to the Terminal?

Fly Safe,
Jibs

You're already in the system, so you cannot 'plot a route' to Wohler Terminal. (Plotting a route I assume implies multiple steps to a location.)

If you are using the system map, just select it as your target (the far left selection option from the pop up) or select it from the left HUD navigation panel.

I had to "Reset Filters" and then it showed up. I'm guessing it had my last destination (Kremainn 2) still in the system. Now the station is on the other side of the gas giant, and I am trying to figure out how to get around the planet... Wohler Terminal is surrounded by dotted lines. If I engage Frameshift it says to "align escape vector" but I have no idea where that is....

Again, apologies for the noob questions...

No apologies necessary...

The escape vector, depending on circumstances, simply takes you away from whatever is mass locking you, or in the case of a star the optimal way to escape with minimum heat damage. If you look on your radar (the circle to the left of your sensor display) it will be indicated either with a solid dot if it is in front of you or a hollow dot if it is behind. Dead center solid dot means it is right in front of you, and you will then see a HUD marker for it.

Once you get to supercruise (by aligning with the escape vector), it won't take you too long to clear the gas giant and be able to head directly for the station.

And then to answer my own question... I should hunt a bit more before posting here... almost as soon as I posted I found the "escape vector". Landed safely.
Thanks Faded Glory for your help!

Escape vector should only be an issue if you are too close to the planet, however look at the circular compass beside your scanner and turn until the circle displayed is solid and near the centre of the compass that should point you near enough to the escape vector.

When you are back cruising just steer so that you are headed clear of the edge of the planet its rings if any and any coloured circles around it whilst turning gently towards the station, you can head directly towards it when its dotted lines become solid but don't get too near the planet as it will slow you down.

Your destination is on the other side of the star.
You need to head directly away from the star to find the escape vector, so put the star behind your ship and you should see it on your HUD.
You might need to use the compass to find it once you turn around.

Then fly some distance away from the star and circle around it towards your destination.


Edit: You might try to not lock on to your destination until you are in SC and away from the star, to eliminate confusion.

Oh good.
Remember that dotted line means you're on the wrong side of the planet or star.
