I think I'm Stuck.

[Bradders]

So I'm not sure if I missed something, but im stuck in the starting systems.
I have the warp drive but every system is too far to jump to.
so im stuck, i cannot get anywhere else...
was there a quest to get out of the starting area? or have i been F*cked by the RNG and started me out of range

There's always a way out.
First, make sure it's a matter of drive range and not energy; at worst buy or dig up (they're dirt-cheap and super-common in graves and you should scavenge those whenever you can anyway) energy cells.

Next, if it is a matter of range, range can be extended:

• Pathfinder computers improve warping
  
• Navigator crew improve warping
  
• Increasing (relic upgrades, or just finding/earning a better one) the quality of your drive improves the range on it, just like the green you can earn from 'scouting 4 systems' is better than a white one.

Any number of those things should be possible within the starting zone.

Syndicate ships also increase warp range, so you could look for one, for which you might need to improve relations with them.

One more way to increase jump range is to use a bigger ship. The warp range scales with ship size. So a yacht can jump further than a shuttle, and a corvette further still.

If you in the starting system, there should be a jumpgate. The most systems has got a jumpgate. Is the Map of the system at 100% free, discovered? (translated)

Sorted now.
I had most of those done already.
but i ended up just trading untill i could afford a bigger ship.
this had the unfortunate effect of ruining the game as in about 4 hours i made 10million creds, bought a dreadnaught and thought."♥♥♥♥ this"

"... in about 4 hours i made 10million creds"

HOW?!?!?!

You can exploit the trade system and make tons of money, therefore it will receive a special update soon :)
