A veteran Elite Dangerous commander shared frustration after a star filter glitch caused their plotted route to skip fuel stars, leaving them stranded just one jump from refueling. Despite years of exploration and in-game wealth, the player highlighted the absence of emergency fuel options like mining, a feature still missing after nine years. They also expressed burnout from repetitive combat, mining, and trading gameplay. This incident underscores ongoing community concerns about core mechanics and player agency in survival scenarios.
