hey all, got pull out supercruise when boosting from a neutron star, when i flew through the tip of the stream ship just starts to spin out of control.
I get pulled out of superstars and now stuck in space, taking damage with no way to get back into superstars or FTL, has anyone had this happen before and if so is there any way to get out or am I stuffed. if i am stuffed i think it be will time to walk away and come back to the game another time.

Doesn't sound like a glitch. Boosting with neutron stars or white dwarfs can be dangerous if approached incorrectly.

Odds of escape are slim if you were close enough to hit the exclusion zone while still in the jet cone. Might still be able to straighten out long enough to line up with the escape vector, depending on ship and one's experience, but it's a long shot.

Yeah, if you're in the exclusion zone then select the neutron star from the nav menu. The escape vector won't be visible until you start charging the superscruise. So you don't want to waste time looking for it while taking on heat. Make sure the star is directly behind you on the compass. Now switch off some modules that you don't need to prevent heat damage. Power distributor, Cargo hatch, Fuel scoop, and other non-essencial modules. Apply full speed. Then charge the SC. Good luck!

It's normal for your ship to steer out of control in the stream. As long as you're pointed away from the star, the trick is to do nothing, so don't try and fight it. Are you able to enter SC?
