There is a way back from that cluster - however some may class it as a "glitch". Dr Kaii demonstrates how to do it here:

Very interesting, but almost certainly unintended.
Regardless, it's also an entirely different matter from jumping there without a plan get back then having the mystical hand of god reach down from outside the game, put you back were you came from, and allow you to continue on your merry way.

so getting stuck in the middle of no where and FD just wave a magic wand to get you out of it is an official thing now?
forgetting the discovered by (which i agree should not have happened) what is good for the prince should be good for the pauper so does this mean that anyone who makes a 1 way jump and gets stuck can simply get support to magic them out of it?
sounds to me like the main risk of exploration has now been ruined.
it also means stories like the miner who rescued a stranded fella as he had no jumponium would no longer happen as the stranded would just get their ship moved... and if FD said no to that, that would be unfair, or is it only the chosen few who get special treatment?

I'm just pointing out that the discovered by tags may quite easily have been obtained by people that made their own way back...

FD are getting very good at setting dangerous (first pun of the afternoon!) precedents.
Wait so the one-way Distant Stars expedition wasn't one-way?
They were transported back over to where they could return?
Two ways of looking at that...
1) Nice gesture by FDEV
2) A really horrible move by FDEV which can be seen as subverting the rules of the game and is bound to cause irritation.
Both are objectively true.
For me, the second one fits my opinion on the matter the most.
This should never have happened.

In the dedicated thread I see a lot of reports of CMDRs offing themselves at their destination.
So I'm wondering ... did I hop on the bandwagon a wee bit premature?

It's a subject that we're investigating now. Thanks.
Oh so the OP is just assuming that FD moved them. Side note...time for my 2nd cmdr to get an Anaconda....

When getting stuck in most online games, support will usually move you to safety. The issue here isn't so much getting stuck, but rather intentionally getting stuck. Whilst everyone on the Distant Stars expedition should have been well aware it was likely a one way trip, in many other cases, it's all to easy to get unintentionally stuck inside a system.
I'm not saying whether or not Frontier should actually step in and help, just that in other online games when people get trapped due to game mechanics - support will usually help out. So in this case, isn't it really a question of whether Frontier should be helping people that intentionally got stuck?
(Assuming Frontier actually did move them in this case - as there are in-game ways to get back).

Probably.
I'm guessing most systems within the cluster can only be reached with a normal jump after the super charge - which is the true point of no return.
However all systems you can reach with a super charge can also be returned from.

Hey Brett C, please update this thread with rumor control when resolved. lol
Exactly. And I say "No. When Distant Stars was dreamt up - they knew it was going to be a one way trip."
