Escaping from a neutron star Bugged. Ship will not jump when Aligned with Target.
- Thread starter Vangeroth
- Start date
Have you tried putting the Neutron star on your 6 and low waking out? Target it and use the mini-alignment indicator to determine when it's behind you, then punch it by low waking. That should work.
Looks like they kind of toned Neutron Stars down a bit. Used to fry your ship when you dropped too close and trying to High Wake would have vaporized your ship. Still happens with White Dwarfs.

If they have toned down netrons then its just one more fail imo. For comparason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCBeHxscCEE
Its alot easier than people make out. No reason to die really.

Because each time I log back into try again, my thrusters are dead and have to be repaired before i can do anything. So I am "sitting still" because I cannot move.
I am NOT wiggling my ship around. Have you actually read anything I've said. At. All?
I have no control over my ship when using thrusters (when they work) and the star is jerking my ship around as shown in the video. If you would stop construeding facts and information that would be greatly appreciated.
I cannot put it at my 6 when the star is rotating my ship between facing the star and facing away from it. Which is what Burke seems to claim otherwise.
People seem to think that you have total control over your ship when in this situation when you really don't. I do not have control over the rotation of my ship and as such I cannot aim it like people are telling me to. The amount of rotating going on it not my own choice here.
It's as if people think I am trying to make this harder then it is (it's not) and think that I want to waste my Cr on a ship that's not cheap to replace.
So you are sitting still cause you cant move and yet you cant warp out cause you are moving around? Hang on ill see if i can find you a solution.
I've captured another video and added in my voice to explain what I am doing.

So when people have been saying "Point your ship and go", in the video you'll see why that's not viable.

I just posted a video I recorded. I also did a bit of narration explaining what I am doing that people are having a hard time believing.
I can't move upon logging in because my Thrusters don't work.
Once I repair those (Reboot and Repair) my ship (as seen in the video) spins around without any input from me (the player). This constant spinning prevents me from aligning long enough to jump. Regardless of using boost or not.
Watch the video first, as it should better explain anything simple text here will.
EDIT: Please make sure you have your volume on and up. As I moved my control towards my mic so you can hear my clicking my thruster buttons but my ship is not moving

I get that you're in the cone and it's playing havoc on your controls. My point is to fight against it and try to align and low wake out. Your FSD will charge even if you're not aligned, then kick in once you manage to get it close to centered. You can use your boost to get that to happen because it'll help align your velocity vector (ie: the direction your ship is moving) and make it a bit easier to swing the nose around to where it needs to go.
You can also use the galaxy map and pick a system that's along the axis of the neutron's cone and try high waking to that. Moving along the axis of the cone (either towards, or away from) of the neutron star should be less of a bumpy ride and make it easier to align to the system and jump out.
The alternative is to submit a bug report and wait for them to respond. According to the ticket page the other day, average wait time is 4 days.

I may end up submitting a ticket at this point.
Want to say thanks for one of the most constructive posts since the first page of this thread. Appreciate that you took your time to write it out and didn't it and pass off this as "You aren't doing it right", which tells me literally nothing.
So thank you.
Probably going to try again tomorrow at this point. With all the people who have replied offering either little to nothing, or lying when I've already proven (prior to their lies) that their claims are false. I am thoroughly burnt out. Best I can hope for when I try tomorrow is that my FSD lasts long enough for my to jump. Since Each time I log in, there is a high chance it will fail and I have to restart the whole process over again. Which has been happening. About every 1 out of 10 times my FSD does last long enough for mt to align, but most of the time it dies either right before it can finish a charge or within Milliseconds after it finishes. And since my ship can't be rebooted and repaired again, I have one chance per each retry to use a Reboot and Repair.
Feels like I am hitting my head against a wall honestly.
Are you...in the right thread?
That's a Neutron Star. I got a Boost from it right before it pulled me out into local space.
I can't tell if you are joking or not here.
You can get boost from white dwarfs as well, and it's garbage and not worth the risk.
It's Wolf 485a, I can see it in your video. A white dwarf.

If you cant accept what you are told that is your only remaining option. Other than that, watch the video i linked, watch youtube and most of all remember, just point the ship and boost.
Okay. I didn't know that. I was under the knowledge that only Neutron Stars could give a super charge.
I've gone through the posts you've written on this thread and you have not posted any videos. Your last post gives the impression you were going to post a video, but that's it.
What would submitting a support ticket do? I mean what would Frontier do to resolve or compensate this whole fiasco?
They might move you out of the jet or provide credits to cover your rebuy out of the the kindness of their hearts, but unfortunately dying in this situation is the correct behavior and not a bug.
My last comment. Watch the video i did post. Your engines shut down cause your ship was damaged from your last encounter with the star. When your ship was sitting still it was outside the cones and perfectly under your control, you drove it into danger yourself. See my comment here...
That is on your video. Let the FSD charge, when the bar is at 80%+ line up as best you can and press boost. The boost will give you a moment of straight line flight that you must use to escape.
Watch the video i posted...the guy is dropping in and out around a neutron star. Yours is it seems a white dwarf which might explain its "gentle" nature. Best to just avoid close encounters with WDs

There is no video you linked. That's a screenshot of your post prior to your last one. The one you've mentioned you posted a link in.
There is no video linked.
