I was on the highway and left it at the time it told me and all of a sudden the skybox just kinda disappeared. The hud and cockpit were fine, but everything around me was black. Thinking that this was a graphics error and the map didn't load properly. I saved and reloaded. Now I'm in the middle of nowhere 1413235 km away.
This is my only save I have since there is no autosave for what ever reason. and I will be upset if I have to all over due to some insane bug.
Highway crashes and exit from Superhighway: 1423442KM from anything, help [Q&A CPP-4]

Just as a comment... *IF* it were fixed in such a way that the highway were still nearby (IE: existing the highway doesn't shoot you away from it), that could actually be a neat feature.
You should still have a starfield, and could have random things spawn out in deep space. Sounds like a good opportunity for a mod.

Blasted out of not just the galaxy but out of the known universe after highway exit!!
I dont know what just happened but i was in a highway up behind the wake of some big space truck when we exited. There was like a huge bang and the ship acellerated away out of the gamespace so far away the cockpit view went black and juddery.
i tried looking at the galactic map, the map popped up then the game locked up!
The only thing I can think of i got blasted out of the total games galactic space beyond any graphic representation and the game couldnt handle it and locked up!
So i claim the glitch record. not hundreds of kays, not thousands but light years off the galactic rim!

I was able to repeat this bug 3 times today ( I had a save just prior to getting on the super highway). I jump on/in the Super highway and while traveling I would visit the crew....once I return to the cockpit I'd be 105000 KM (something like that anyway) from the objective.
Dont visit crew while traveling I suppose lol...

egosoft stated they are looking into this but havent been able to reproduce it themselves. It happened to me once I was switching lanes to follow faster and faster ships and i was near full speed when i was ejected from the highway and flung 150km away straight out from the end of the highway into "empty space" luckily it was only 150kms and it only took a few minutes to get back. had it been 1000's of kms like some people reported i would load a save. Ever since i heard of this bug i save every time im about to hope on a highway.

this happened to me today for the first time on a blue highway, ship swapping to get faster and i was almost full speed right before i hit the end of the highway and was ejected 150kms straight away from the highway exit. I think it has something to do with the speed at which you are flying? Can someone confirm this or is this happening to people at half throttle or lower as well?
Just had this happen too.
I was in a highway ( which cause my system to hitch quite a lot because apparently the game loads the structures of everything, even if you speed by it at breakneck speeds - that seems a bit scary ) and had just missed my destination ( the distance counter went up again ).
When i left the highway and ended up in pitch black "space" with some occasional highway-user-ships flickering in and out and it seemed like i was rotating very fast judging by the lights in the cockpit.

Wooow, I've had this happen, but it never threw me that far.
I believe it's an issue with collisions: When a ship is in a highway collisions are... odd. If you get into the slipstreams of some larger ships, you'll probably notice the Skunk is sometimes practically inside of it. This, combined with the fact that when in a highway every ship is going at an almost uniform speed that is impossible outside of the highway results in a ship, such as the Skunk in the slipstream of a slower ship, collies instantly upon both ships exiting and, given their abnormal speed, the 'bounce' distance is catastrophically higher.
However, this isn't taking into account the obscene 'bounce' some physics engines give an item that has nocliped into an object and suddenly had collisions apply to it. You've probably seen that in games like Skyrim, when a character or prop partially phases into an object and proceeds to flail about like wild as the program's trying to figure out what the hell is happening.

Work around getting stuck in empty space.
The new patch says they fixed the bug that "teleports" you into deep space, but just in case
I downloaded a save game editor (for debugging reasons) and it has a field for location.

works pretty good, seems like you cant modify a savegame more than once without an error popping up. if you want to edit again, make a manual save. Default Shift S
These are the coordinates for my position in a new Free Game.

Hope that helps.

Skunk is currently 35508978KM from gate (1.14)
Zipping along in lane, I move over, and bump, bump, flippity flippity. All black. 
Picture UFJD into a sector with no stars or light...except an odd flickering of ships going by like phantom ships. Not even a goner to bum a ride with. Just to be perverse I did a save there to a free slot.
Any workaround? Silly Q, I know. I'll probably just reload, but it was a rude bump into the void.

Some more background. I just completed boarding the ship. I docked with my new ship. Wandering around I saw the countdown to dock with HOA ship. I go to skunk to find an HOA ship...stuck in my ship. It jumps out, I'm in the skunk floating about. Follow guidance, into some trade lane, then bumped into space.
