cannot get back to my ship
i docked to a planetary port, and when i clicked disembark, the game crashed. i rebooted the game and my progress was saved, but my ship was nowhere to be found. i see on the system map my ship is still on the planet, but i have no way of recovering it from inside the station on foot. Any ideas?

Are you sure you are checking the right elevator? The Apex Shuttle and Frontline Solutions elevators are for their respective services and will not lead to your ship.

If the station has a shipyard maybe you can summon your ship there.

Failing that, If the station has an active Apex Shuttle service you could book a shuttle to a different station with a shipyard and have you ship transferred.

In case of game crash your ship will moved to Orbit. Just recall useing Insight Hub ('Q' [hold]).

Is there an Astra shipyard there? If so, talk to the staff at the counter.

If not, take an Apex to a large station nearby and recall your ship there using the Astra counter.

Failing all that, on the main menu (before clicking Continue), click Help then Recover to Orbit.

That's not a bug, it just means the station has no shipyard.

If you apex to a large orbiter you can recall your ship to there.

This. Alternatively you can check to see if there are other planetary settlements with a shipyard on the same planet. You can find them and check what services are available from the system map.

Normally it's probably faster to just go to an orbital like Sighman suggests, but if the nearest one is a long distance away like more than 100k Ls or the next system over, it might be worth looking for planetary settlements with a shipyard if you just want to quickly get back to your ship.

EDIT: You can also check if there is a shipyard present at the smaller orbital stations from the system map.
