I transferred my diplomat from one independent colony to another, and didn't pay much attention at the time. But checking now after sending them a gift, I noticed he still hadn't arrived yet. Then I focused on the date - 46 years from now? Is he taking an impulse shuttle? I have warp tech, I actually have bases in both systems, so I can't understand why it would take this long? Is this a bug or WAD?

Propably a issue with FTL speeds.
I saw it with Skip Drives and Spies once - and it would have been a few centuries.

If you unlocked a new FTL since starting, just stop and restart the transfer.
And maybe report it as a bug too, as that propably needs a pass.

Thank you, that worked. I had to actually transfer him to a different destination (back to my homeworld) and then transfer back to the original destination, but now the ETA is 1 year.
I am about to finish research on the Gerax drive, so I will see if that causes it to lock up again.

How can I abort the transfer or send the ambassador back as it takes about 1700 years for him to arrive at his target. Changing the location field and „sending“ him has no visual effect.

I'm afraid your character is in for the long haul.

Generally, it's not a good idea to send characters out of your home system until you get Gerax drives.

Usually just pick a new target - like your capitol - and hit send.
Returning him to whence he came.

Ok, thank you both..doesn't seem to work, so I hope he'll still be healthy when he'll arrive in 1700 years

What did you expect? It's not like he can teleport to the destination.

You should dismiss him. You propably get a replacement before the end of the year.
