URGENT: An unfortunate series of ... bugs? Game unplayable.

Main Problem Resolved. I kept choosing stations that truly do not have Shipyards.

To start from the beginning of my issues: CGs show up on map but I can't sign up anywhere and stations are not even telling me that CGs are available elsewhere -- this goes for last and newest CG. Nonetheless I flew out to Orion Nebula because the CG icon on the Galaxy map. Once there I decided to take a quick ground mission. I land on planet, walk around for less than 2 minutes and suddenly I am dead. Maybe it was the cold temperature because the settlement was empty....but then why was I sent 1000Ly away to Detention rather than redeploying on my ship? Fine, no big deal...except of course shuttles won't take you 1000Ly, so I go to the nearest station, Darwin Research Facility. Concourse terminal has no shipyard menu and Inter-Astra shop is empty, no NPC clerk... Weird, I thought, so I shuttle to another nearby system and dock at Mic Turner Base.. SAME PROBLEM. No Inter-Astra employee or shipyard facilities. So I'm stuck in California Sector with no way to call my ships or even buy a new one if I wanted to hike 1000Ly with stock FSD range.
This doesn't feel like a gameplay mechanic, I think something's broken. Of course I've relogged, restarted game, I even tried launching Horizons but it appears FDev doesn't want people circumventing the shuttle service when redeployed on foot because I get some nonsense error trying to connect to Horizons when I logged out inside an Apex shuttle.

The missing NPC clerk happened to me too sometimes.
Relogging solved that mostly.

Have you tried logging into Horizons? It should put you back into a ship i would guess.
