Detroit Munitions

Just accepted a mission from Detroit munitions, when I go to launch to space my ship is in the wrong part of the station/ or the station doors wont open and release me, I can move slowly about inside the station, but there is no exit whatsoever, I've re-started the game, and re-booted my computer, but to no avail, I dont want to go back to an old saved game if I can help it, as I have always relyed on autosave, so going back would take me back a few months of game play, any ideas?

first of all save your game now!

I do not know how its on SP but your problem happened to me alot of time in MP.
I just head to the base door slowly make sure that I going to the right dorection using turrent view and then just press forward to find my self out of the base!

u can try droping mines and killing your self maybe this will help ..

u can also wait tell some NPC asks to dock and then opened the door for you so u can get out ..

Try pressing F3 (Dock) and the doors will open. You will take a lot of shield damage (and maybe some hull damage), but you can get out.

Thanks for your help. I didnt need to save the game as autosave had already done that for me, cause I was in the station. My ship as I sussed out in the end, wasnt in the docking part of the station, but was trapped inside the station model, so therefore there was no way out no-matter what. I tried re-starting the game :- no change. Re-booting the computer :- no change. Dropping mines :- no change. docking again :- no change, but it did manage to dock after about 15 minutes of it trying, but the problem was still there when I tried to leave again.

I finally re-installed the game, which sorted out the problem, I've now spent about 6 hours solid searching New York for hidden jump holes and cant find the one I want, had my ship blown up twice while trying to navigate through the minefield, but still love it!
