First exploration
- Thread starter Emmvee
- Start date
Easy way to find out. Restart the the game and if you're back in that same system again - looks then like that's it. You're well and truly struck! The only option you have then is to kill yourself and then not choose the option to get the ship back. Start with a new ship instead back in the bubble, at least you won't lose what's on the account gained - but you'll lose that ship and the travelling. 
That's bad after travelling 3/4 of the way to Beagle Point
Can't believe you was dropped off using a neutron star needing a 80ly jump to the next system. Hardly any ship can jump 80ly unless a carrier ship

what is your base jump range?
From your description.. probably under 40 ly. Even with premium fds boost you do not have the range that you need(82 ly) Are you carrying cargo? how much?
There is a chance that if you have a fair amount in terms of weight... you can jettison the cargo to give yourself 1-2 extra ly range. Any more would be a slim to none chance of extending your range. Fuel? Fuel is weight... how much do you have... a full tank? It might be possible to get the weight down enough to extend your range. Take to much fuel and you won't be able to make the jump at all. You have a tough call to make... think it through before doing anything.

If you jumped in by NS boost and there's no way out without one and no NS in the little patch you can jump around then your only way out (bar self destruct) is to hope there's someone with a fleet carrier who's prepared to come and get you. (You could also try petitioning FDev support, feels a bit cheat-y to me but I know others have done it and been rescued that way).
Perhaps post a new thread asking for an FC assist in the title so people see it, not sure if that's a thing the Fuel Rats do these days but you could ask them.

Not much you can do to drop fuel and see if the lack of weight with reduced fuel might help increase his jump range enough. How do you drop fuel when he can't make any jumps to reduce it. Just flying around in a system doesn't really reduce the fuel hardly - only jumping to another system does that, and not like he can eject any fuel either. i doubt also he's carrying any cargo when making a trip to beagle point - as that just adds weight and reduces the jump range
I think he said he can do 70ly with FSD Injection. So he's like 10 or 12ly shy on jump range. So even if he could drop both cargo and fuel, you ain't going to gain 10ly jump range from it. His only option now seems to be. Either somebody jumps in with a fleet carrier and takes him out the system - or he kills himself and restarts with a new ship instead to get back to the bubble

Hey, how's the formally blind pilot lol
Yeah Im carrying nothing, normal range is 33/37ly.
I've got no choice but to self destruct.
Thank you all.
You've all be......arrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhh
it's true what's alreadysaid
There are lots of guys who actually like to do a rescue mission and maybe even that carrier had jumped that 3 jumps to you
Ntl, good to have you back
I didn't realise I could ask a carrier to do thatit's true what's alreadysaid

well done, young Rooster.... a lesson learned , not to be soon forgotten. hip hip and good travels.
If you had waited a while you may have had an offer of assistance via this forum, I am a little bit too far away (30,000+ly) but I am sure that there are other carrier owners a lot nearer that would not have hesitated to offer assistance.
I realise I could have asked on here because Cmdr Lorenzo Waringos gave me a lift back to the bubble after the guardian FSD upgrade but I didn't realise I could have asked the carrier I last docked with.
I don't like putting people out for my own failings.
No harm done, every day is a school day
Good to see you didnt go all the way back to the bubble, Rooster. Journey on CMDR.
well, we did tell you
Good afternoon Cmdrs
During the weekends debacle I read a lot about self destruction and peoples experiences. I came across a post somewhere where the Cmdr wrote he explored in a cobra MKIII with jump range of 50ly. He put the link to coriolis so I checked it out and I cannot see any difference between his and mine, in fact mine is slightly lighter.
This is mine
coriolis.io
It does show the thrusters greyed out because I'm landed on a planet. When I select the thrusters on the site it makes no difference to jump range
This is his

Could anyone shed some light on why the difference in jump range please

Quick look at it, he's got an engineered FSD, you don't?Good afternoon Cmdrs
