Asking the Galactic Gods for help.

I recently found myself in a bit of a pickle...

While running a trade route, I loaded up my gal freighter with about 16000 credits worth of drugs, the most amount of cargo i have ever had (value wise) at one time, leaving me with about 20 credits in my inventory. That was not a problem because i was going to use my stardrive and jump to the next system and sell all my cargo. Before i jumped i noticed had only enough fuel for one more jump before i would be completely out of fuel. Again no problem because after i unloaded my cargo in the next system i could just use my infimp drive and teleport to zion or somewhere near the starting system and refuel. I clicked on the system on my galaxy map, clicked on my stardrive, got past the countdown, watched the rainbow swirly thingy, and then I assumed I would go through the tunnel and into the next system.

I didn't...

I went through the tunnel and found myself still in the same spot and couldn't move. I waited a couple seconds because sometimes it takes a few seconds to switch over. after about 10 seconds i recieved a little notice saying i lost connection to the server. Now I had a problem... I found myself in the main menu saying the galaxy server was down, but the planet servers were still working. so after a couple minutes of playing on zion, the server came back on and i found myself in the same system. Thinking i was ok because i still had all my cargo and stuff, i tried to use my stardrive on the next system again. I then began to swear loudly because i had just realized i didn't have enough fuel to make the jump. now i was in real trouble because there were no planets that sold fuel in this system. I was going to try and sell back my cargo and use my infimp drive, but apparently that planet had a strict "No Refund" policy and none of the other planets in the system bought drugs. I then realized i had JUST enough fuel to make it to the nearest system to me and praying it would have some fuel.

It didn't...

So now i was sitting in the middle of nowhere with a ship full of drugs and completely out of fuel.

I'm still sitting here...

I was just reading the guide and it said if I was stuck in space I could either reset my account, (which was not an option after playing forever to get this far) or I could get on the forums and beg the Galactic Gods to move me somewhere else in the galaxy.

So here i am begging the Galactic Gods,
Can someone please move me somewhere else in the galaxy so i can refuel and continue my gaming experience?

And if they're too busy prehaps one of the Universal Staff Members can help instead?

Mmmm. When did this happen? And what's your galactic username?

I seem to remember there used to be a bug where the stardrive'd do some odd things. Haven't heard about it for a while, though.

Fuel is supposed to be available everywhere (I thought). That might be another bug.

I'll need your galactic username to do anything more. If you don't want to post it here (it might make you a bit of a target with all that cargo ;) then mail me - fooli attheuniversal.. dot net... etc. (please make the subject clearly relate to the game and your issue, or it'll just get binned as spam)

With nothing to do... what a terrible state of affairs :)

It happened last night around midnight Est.

Also fuel is not available everywhere. I've been exploring some of the systems and all of them have fuel... However most of them don't sell or buy fuel. I think most of them are just out of stock and don't restock.

What you could do is find someone trustworthy to come kill you then you can imp somewhere and refuel, then kill your friend to take you cargo back.

I think i just got a bug while waiting around, i some how just gained 10 fuel even though i was completely out of fuel last time. its sort of good i guess, but i need 30 fuel before i get unstuck

...

Till then i'm still stuck here...

Theros thats a good idea, but theres one problem... I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere.
I cant ask anyone to help me.

UPDATE- Right after i posted this I some how gain 20 more fuel, so now I'm unstuck!
