If you have a ship targeted, not only will you see their ship type and health, you will also see any count down timers. Log off would be a green counter, and explode would be a flashing red.

Also an excellent suggestion. What, Roda did you get a good night's rest Friday night and come up with these all at once?

I know it's a game and all, but it seems unrealistic that one would have so much telemetry from another ship. I could make an argument for explode - something along the lines of tracking a power surge, but logoff seems excessively artificial. Plus, I'd rather have the HUD real estate for something else.

Logging off to avoid combat is reprehensible.

I don't see having the telemetry about logging off is any more artificial than logging off itself. And as you said, you could make an argument for the explode. I imagine if you could make an argument for logging off, you could also make an argument for detecting it.

I would also like to add "time out" counter in yellow. That way you can see if your duel opponent has lost connection.

If you want HUD real estate for something else, then I would like to hear what that something else is.

Any indication of a countdown to leave a situation would be good. No preference on how such indication is implemented.

logging or /exploding is just rude.

At least we appear to have consensus that logging to avoid combat is bad.

I would like to detect logout, explode, timeout, especially if combined with this thread:
