Thrusters not firing

Need Help

Not sure how much to try to describe here, but I'll give the kind of long version. I was jumping from Luna to the MHNG station, trying to hop from one station to the next to get to a bounty. My course ended right at the no warp bubble around MHNG. I had thrusters until I slowed down next to MHNG and tried to communicate with them to negotiate docking. Had to use them to get within 5 for docking... but there was a comms error. I slowed everything to a near standstill. I got out of the chair, debugged the error, happy times. They'll let me dock, but now I can't fire the thrusters at all.

I have fuel. Lots of it. 3653kg remaining. Not sure why everything is showing the action lines on the map, but that's also new. WASD will not launch thrusters. Control buttons on the console won't either. I tried powering everything down and back up again, reseating the control module into the chair, uninstalling & reinstalling the whole chair. Disabling & reenabling the radio. Logs show nothing, nothing further I can repair on the seat itself. I'm stuck.
