Quest on a planet I can't get to?

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Psythik@lemm.ee⁩ to ⁨[deleted]⁩

I just started (about 4 hours in) and the game won’t let me fast travel to this planet. It’s too far away to just fly to (flew for about half an hour before getting bored), so how am I supposed to get there to continue a quest? Am I supposed to just wait it out as I fly there in realtime? What am I missing?

Additionally, some planets/star systems are too far for your grav drive to reach at the moment, and will have to upgrade your ship at higher levels. But you mostly get between planets through the star chart in your menu or use the navigation console in the ship

  When I try the star star map or the nav console, it just gives me an error: “Fast travel is currently unavailable to this location”. This is really frustrating cause the quest is on a time limit and I don’t want to fail it.
  
  Also, how do I activate the “Grav drive”?

Try entering the scanning mode when in your cockpit. The waypoint should pop up and you can travel to it. Otherwise try opening the map and selecting the location.

  Please help me. Is this “scanning mode”? What do I do from here?

    It looks like your destination is about 200lys away, and your grab drive probably can’t go that far. If you’re still only early game probably about 20lys. Might have to wait till later for that mission.

  Already tried that but when I hold down the button to travel to it, nothing happens.
