Dead End Planet

[Rexxer]

I followed the galaxy map path to an edge planet at the center, but the program did not present a continuation path option to the galaxy centre, it simply dead ended at the edge planet. No further route was offered by the galaxy map. I had to fly to another region to get a proper path to the galaxy centre. Anyone else ever experience this?

It's in the Apmaneessu galaxy, portal code: 5054FAFFA000
The system name is Hiosak-Oui (Gek level 2, G0, 6 planets)

"Push towards center" with a controller. With the mouse, you have to move the cursor around until a circle appears around the star you're at, with a line pointing towards center, then click and hold until you jump. While you could do this at any point, you are only required to at the center, so for many people this is the first time they come upon this interface quirk.

That's the point, it can't be done with this star since there is no continuation pathway provided by the galactic map. On all other stars a pathway is provided so that technique can work. It literally cannot work at all from this edge planet. It worked fine from another though.

I have had the G map lead me to the "last" system on the line...only to discover when I opened it there, there was new line to another system. I think the navigational aid is kind of flaky.

This is not that. It has zero guidance when you get there:

if you transit enough galaxies, this will happen occasionally. The core path leads to a gateway system with no gateway. I just take the nearest blackhole and find another gateway.

But I would agree, it's likely ANOTHER flaky aspect of the galaxy map. When you get to the planet and select "path to galactic centre" it provides no route forward to the center. In the illustration, I went to another system and renamed it "(98) Apmaneessu Exit" to show the normal operation of the edge system relative to the galaxy centre.

Actually I have looked at THOUSANDS of normal edge systems, probably more than you, and this is the very first of this sort I have found. I normally investigate at least 50 edge systems per galaxy for the particular "game" I have going now.

Luck of the draw I guess. I've transited about 50 galaxies. This happened to me 2 or 3 times. I assumed it was common.
