Horizons Neutron Star Death Sentence 15,000LY from Sol !!! help?

[VaapCloud9]

Stuck in a neutron star death loop! Ship keeps spawning in the swirl and will not align with escape trajectory. Very frustrating that there is no mechanic to align your ship except random luck. I am at least 15,000 LY from Sol with a months worth of exploration data. 400,000,000 cr Conda Not enough hours in the day with job and family to do it again. I have a ticket with support but I know they must be very busy with patches and tickets.

Either way I STILL LOVE THIS SPACE SIM!!! Most fun I have had gaming since ZORK I, II & III

You will have tried logging off and on again?

If your ship can boost, it's easy to get out. If it can't, you're in trouble.

If you do have a boost-capable ship - Hit the low wake into the supercruise and once it's charged, boost. It will allign your vector with your heading momentarily and you're out.

CMDR I was in a similar situation as you. Stuck with my ASP in neutron jet and no idea how to escape. Trying endlessly and always logging to dashboard.

CMDR Simon, you are a saint. I am playing ED for 1300+ hours and had no idea that boosting works this way. You are always learning something new. With your advise I was able to escape the neutron jet with acceptable damage to my systems. You not only saved my weekend also my exploration data for triple-elite! Thank you!

Repped both of you for asking a good question and answering even better.

Fly safe commanders! o7

Glad you got out!

These things are still SUPER dangerous to deal with, and I am not completely sure if there are not a few bugs remaining in the whole mechanic. As attractive as the boost in FSD jump range is, I would be VERY reluctant to risk everything while on the way to Colonia or something just to gain a few 100 Lys.
