Ok, first, yes, I'm whining just a little bit, and yes, I probably know the answer this question already, but I'm going ask anyway.
So I'm happily zipping through low-sec in my Prowler last night collecting my PI stuff when my computer just shuts itself off. No warning, no blue screen, no nothing, just bang. Wouldn't restart with out doing some windows diagnostic thingy that took over 20 minutes. So of course, when I finally do get back to the game, I'm all exploded and podded and butthurt and feeling sorry for my self and well, just raging at the complete unfairness of it all, life, space, gaming, my receeding hairline... but I digress.
So the ship and pod are gone due to a hardware issue at my end. I'm guessing its on me to just eat the loss, but was wondering if I filed a petition would CCP grant me little mercy? I believe they only reimburse if the loss was caused by their server, but hopefully I'm wrong?
(and yes, I can replace the loss, I don't need THAT lecture! ) |

Throw another power supply in it. Cheap enough, and if it happens again, you'll know its a problem with the mobo.
As far as a petition, they might help ya this one time. Probably not, but a respectfully written petition might work out for you.
I had a cheapo power strip do this to me a while back as well.

If their logs show nothing then you won't get reimbursed.
CCP on the whole are pretty good about the reimbursement thing, if it's a problem with their equipment or outside forces are making the game unplayable, such as during the recent DDOS attacks then they're pretty quick to reimburse the people affected.

You should really take charge in your home and put the TV where you deem appropriate. Tell the kids if they don't like it there, they don't have to watch it. If you don't exercise authority in your home, your kids will grow up to be serial killers.

Please don't clog up the petition queue with stuff that is clearly not reimbursable.
Kinda surprised you even got killed, in a prowler you shouldn't have a logoff timer. "CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"
Never forget. |

So instead of bugging one guy who get's paid to handle your complaints and grievances, you decided to bug the entire forum-going playerbase (thousands of people).

I was warping back to station in a hauler. Got disconnected, logged back in and was e-warping in a pod. Was told "sorry for your loss but nothing in logs." |

There is still a small amount of time between you dropping your connection and the server timing your connection out. |

I don't think CCP will reimburse, nor that they should. Most people run into this sooner or later.
BUT
If you can get your stuff reimbursed; good for you man! |

sounds ike you have an overheating issue. If money is an issue, open the case and point a small oscillating fan at the mb while playing. Minimizing the cost of replacing implants.

I've had this happen to a prophecy of mine, except my computer just randomly locks. almost lost an armageddon due to this too.
My advice: It's time to check out your hardware or just get an upgrade |

I feel like we're not being told something here......If you were manually flying, when your PC failed, your ship would emergency warp and log out.
Now I never use autopilot, but I presume even if you were on autopilot, at the time connection is lost, the ship should warp to emergency and dissapear, same as manual flying.
So the question I'd ask is "why did your ship sit around, where it could be easily seen/shot at" after you disconnected?
Something is missing from the story here.

Don't know what to tell you. I don't autopilot, not in low-sec for sure! I was in warp, cloaked, about to land on a gate when my screen went black. By the time I got back into the game, I was sitting in a pod in Rens.....

By the time I got back into the game, I was sitting in a pod in Rens..... Just looked at the kill board, they guy who killed me waited 15 minutes after killing the ship to kill the pod. I'll have to convo him tonight find out what that was about.
your pod did an e-warp after the ship was lost, he had to scan it down to kill it. Scanning pods is hard.
my guess is you landed at 0 and decloaked about the time the server registered you were gone, this gave yoru attackers time to tackle and kill you. Thus flagging you for 15 min. |

My PC is a 10 year old, Pentium D, intergrated graphics toaster... It's, erm, well a disaster to be honest. Crashes and gets me nearly killed a lot... Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person." |

That makes sense. Oh well, suck it up and keep on truckin'. I'm just happy I was on the way TO the PI, not coming back with a full load!

Never had any power supply problems, has always been memory issues. Run Memtest, find the bad memory module, replace it, problems solved. That's been my experience anyway. |
