I eventually had to hex edit the saved game file to manually move my ship over 20 spaces so I could get the hell out of there... really annoying.
I would really like to know how to edit it as well, as I'm stuck in the same situation.I have a hex editor, so all I really need is what values to change into what or what the numbers indicate, so I can do it myself.
A location in the Sol system, for instance.
