[SOLVED] Quest on a planet I can't get to? (lemm.ee)

Update: Turns out that I didn't play far enough into the main quest. After joining That space adventure club thing and bringing ~~Lisa~~ Sarah with me I was able to finally get where I needed to be to complete that timed quest.

Thanks to all that helped.

I just started (about 4 hours in) and the game won't let me fast travel to another planet. "Fast travel is currently unavailable to this location".

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?

Thanks for your help. But what I don't understand is why the game would give me a quest that I can't complete yet, especially one with a 4 hour time limit? Talk about developer oversight.

You can chaim grav jumps, only thing is you cant do the entire trip in one jump. Fuel resets each time you jump, so ot's only a minor inconvenience to start with.

I still don't know how to actually do a Grav jump, though, and the game isn't helping me.

Do I have to start the main questline first before I can use this "Grav drive" that everyone is taking about in this thread?

It should be very early in the game. Like right after you get the ship.

If you have gone to new atlantis, you already grav jumped (so if you have a mission you probably have done it). Grav jumping is just when you go to another system from the map interface (for example, from alfa centauri to sol). If the place you want to go to is too far, you just need to do intermediate jumps (going to systems in betwern)
