Ok, some would say it isnt a priorty, but after getting a bounty claimed, by a pilot who I have never fought against, simply because I had lagged out, and was floating in space, unable to do anything but lose my xp, and give someone a million credits, for well, nothing really, im stating it needs to be reduced to the 10 seconds it is for logging out in space anyways, or the *AI takes over and guides ship to a station* thing implimented.

Its just annoying atm as my cable modem has gone on the fritz, and I would rather lose any bounties I earn in a fight.

[Edit]

And let me edit my titles too =p

Maybe it could be reduced to like 30seconds or something, but certainly not 10 seconds. Logging out requires you to be staying still (or in arcade mode I think you can be moving forward without turbo), but lagging out (or force quit, crash) does not.

It would be exploitable at 10s. It's already exploitable at 1m, we don't need to make it worse.

Well, I thought the idea for the min, back in the days, was for an AI to take over control of your ship, and guide it to the nearest station, but as they had no AI, it kinda got dumped.

I would rather in that kind of situation not be left floating in space (you were not there, it was CTC, i had two attackers, apperently they broke off and went for convoy, as they did not score the kill, some guy I never saw on my radar killed me, in a sector i was not in *i warped into a storm, I know this, it said so on my screen, next thing i know my ISP went dumb, i logged back in around 2 mins later to find some guy i have never fought, or seen on radar, get 1 mill creds for killing me, see norde something or other in news - wheres the sploit there?()

It needs sorting, even if they make your char slam on the brakes in a crash/lag out, 10 seconds would not mean someone i didnt have on my /toplist gets a kill for free.

[Edit]

I Lost a 1 Mill cred bounty, and xp because of this death, and some guy got his name in the news for killing me without trying.

I actually was there at the event that yoda's talking about (and now yoda has a pretty good idea of who one of my alts is. Don't tell!). And we actually didn't break off the attack. It was really weird. He was lag-spinning, we were landing shots & getting the target-hit beeps, but his damage bar wasn't dropping. And then he exploded, dropping the cargo which we then grabbed & returned, Except he didn't really explode, his ship was still there, spinning around with the same amount of hull as when he lag-dropped.

Heh, I wont...

...Really, i wonder if i was in two places at once, you shot me in the storm right? (because i was expecting to die in the storm, I did not, i died while loading a sector, as far as im concerned)
