If you enter one of its beams under a wrong angle - your ship will be pulled in.

Neutron stars and White Dwarfs are dangerous. Don't come too close to them. Avoid those beams. And if you want to supercharge your FSD from them - learn how to do it the right way (YouTube has some good explanations), and do it carefully.

Was it a white dwarf?. They have a much larger gravity well. I've been caught in one. It never happened again, and I use white dwarf stars all the time. Just be careful. Enjoy it.
You only get to learn to your surprise once.

yea i got as far away from it as i could the problem is the stars have a circle where you need to avoid getting to close BUT the beam was VERY short it was right at the outer rim of the circle. (also dosent help i cant see the circle.) i though i got as far from it as i could i got FSD boosted just to have my ship randomly pulled in unable to escape

Then why didn't you abandon the idea of supercharging from that star? You saw that it was highly risky, yet you took the risk. Sorry, but it's not the star's fault.

(also dosent help i cant see the circle.)
You can see it as soon as you move faster than the minimum supercruise speed. But you already saw that it's very dangerous to do.

i didn't know it would pull me in to the star, i'v never seen this before.

Well, now you do. :)

Needed - no. You could have replotted your route, temporarily unchecking the FSD boost option of your galaxy map plotter. You would have done 4 jumps instead of the boosted one, but you would have still be alive.

you cant tell me it's fair that some like that should go unchecked, it's like having the FSD Interdictor skip the part where you try to escape and you just get dropped.

Well, it is also fair to be occasionally killed, when taking high risks.

If "the beam was very short", that would have been a White Dwarf, not a Neutron Star. White Dwarf boosts are far more dangerous, and give you a far smaller jump boost (only 50%, compared to 400%). If you see it's a white dwarf, just don't do it, unless you're trapped or out of fuel.

it's about risk reward and there's always a way out of the things you get in to. that star just keep you from getting out

it was still really unfairly close to the circle

As you have noticed - not always. Some things make you dead.

In this case - don't use it. Unfair things often happen in this game. Like a cargo ship being jumped by a wing of combat ships. C'est la vie.
