Ships Can Take Off Without You
This is a bit of an unfortunate one, and it’s not clear what events triggered it. According to a redditor, his starship somehow managed to take off on its own, leaving him behind on the planet that he was on. From the screenshot above, you can literally see his starship flying off into the sky, and possibly back into outer space.
While it’s certainly possible to get off the planet without the ship, it’s going to take a lot of time. You can either hope to find a trading post and build a bypass chip to call your ship back (if you have the crafting recipe, and it’s been reported that this solution didn’t work), or you could buy a ship from another trader. But ships are expensive, and you’ll have to farm the units for it.
The best thing to do here is to reload your last save, though that could potentially set you back hours if you haven’t reached a checkpoint.
