Newcomer / Intro Odd design or am I doing something wrong?

I ended up on foot in jail a long way from my active ship (for a 200Cr bounty). I figured I'd just go and buy another one or get in one of the other ships in the fleet but the game is saying I must transfer my active ship (~0.5 million credits) before I can do anything. Is this bad game design working as intended (turning a 200Cr bounty into 0.5 million) or am I doing something wrong and there is some other way out of this?
 
Presumably he has taken an Apex, no Inter Astra at penal colonies. I always just Apex back to my ship, so no idea about other options 🤷‍♀️
 
Yeah, I'm taxi hopping my way back now but it is out of range so hoping multiple taxi trips will get me there. Still probably cheaper than transferring my ship.

Frustrating though that I can't just buy a Hauler and fly back myself...

P.S. Yes I took a taxi trip from the penal colony to the nearest space station hoping to buy me a new ship (I fancied a change anyway) but that option was not available and neither was to transfer any other of my ships.
 
Apex to a nearby location from the ship.

However, they should really give at least G3 engineered FSD to these 3307 low-cost version of transportation means.
That would put the Apex to 32 ly per jump...
 
There is some dimness at the moment where if you didn't lose your ship (i.e. it is still on a planet) then you have to go back and retrieve it - the Inter Astra won't even let you see your ships. If you lose your ship then Inter Astra will let you choose another or buy one. But if you had the option to ship it then I guess it's not that. Or they messed it up in one of the patches.

Basically at the moment everything is a mess and lots doesn't work right. Learn to use the stuff that works and ignore the stuff that doesn't. And issue report stuff in the hope that some gets fixed 🤷‍♀️
