You will warp immediately unless you are disrupted by NPCs or if you are using a Marauder and are in Bastion mode.
In most cases you will be fine but, don't fly what you can't afford to lose applies. "PvE in EVE is a trap to turn you into PvP content, don't confuse it for actual gameplay." Lipbite |

In theory, unless CCP changed something, the regular NPC scram/disrupt does not hinder the E-Warp that your ship will initiate upon losing connection. However, if you get stuck on something or are otherwise mal-aligned, you will not warp. You will however re-warp back into the pocket upon logging back in.
Also, there was an issue with bastion, where your ship would only make one attempt to leave, so if you were in bastion, you'd be stuck with your tank essentially 'off'. I believe CCP has since rectified this by having the ship make repeated attempts to get out, so when bastion ends it's cycle, you would warp.
However, i have not tested this theory, as the only way is to put said shiney into harms way. |

I thought CCP made changes a while back to stop people from escaping loss of their ship by doing log outs. I could be wrong but I think these are the current timers for logging out while in space.
No Combat = ship will stay there for 1 minute before warping to a random location 1 mill km's away and then disappear.
NPC combat = ship will stay there for 5 minutes before warping to a random location 1 mill km's away and then disappear.
PvP combat = ship will stay there for 15 minutes before warping to a random location 1 mill km's away and then disappear.
If the ship is warp scrammed it won't be able to warp away. Modules stop working when the cycle is completed or after 1 minute of client disconnect / log off, whichever comes first.

afaik active modules stay active until you do disappear. I've been meaning to test this with the new NPC aggro timer (especially with regard to bastion mode) I just haven't gotten around to it. And I suppose it would also be relevant if warp scrammed by npcs I'll join the chorus asking CCP, don't take my fancy names away from me!

Well, if the ship automatically goes into warp when the client loses connection with the server then the NPC timer doesn't mean anything in high sec, especially if NPC scram/disrupt doesn't affect the E-Warp.
The NPC's definitely aren't going to chase you and in high sec and the chance of another player scanning you down to do combat is very small.
Given the choice between staying in the NPC pocket and definitely loosing the ship verses logging out and maybe lose the ship to player action, I'll take the log out option every time.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the entire mechanic governing this but it seems to me that negates CCP's attempt to stop players from using the log out option to save their ship..

On disconnect following happens:
a) all your highslots turn off, medium slots and low slots continue running until you disappear from space, die or cap out b) your ship initiates e-warp, if you are scrammed/disrupted by something or if you are in bastion, bad news, you are not going anywhere
bI) there is some strange behavior regarding bastion where sometimes it stays on whole time (doesn't turn off like rest of highslot modules), sometimes you do get e-warp after bastion cycle has ended, etc... so whole bastion thingy is still unclear, but rest of the rules stand.

Given the choice between staying in the NPC pocket resulting in ship loss verses logging out and maybe lose the ship to player action, I'll take the log out option every time. Besides that, after a minute can just log back in and be in ship as it's warping back to the mission location. If it's a gated mission site, won't even see any NPC's and can just warp to a station for repairs.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the entire mechanics governing this but it seems to me that would pretty much negate CCP's attempt to stop players from using the log out option to save their ship.
Gotta say I'm confused. Definitely need some clarification on this.

at some point you do disappear though as I found out when I had a mission 90% cleared but still came back in hull. Now I just run a medium deadspace rep as they are pretty dang cheap, and tank far more than enough with bastion. and haven't had an issue since, but I don't think I had a serious DC in that time frame either.

The timers you are thinking about DMC only come into play after you e-warp. Once a ship e-warps out it is subject to those timers. Meaning depending on what timer you have, that is how long a combat prober will have to scan you down. |

Yeah something just doesn't seem right to me. I thought the whole purpose of the log out timers was to stop people from using log off as a way to save their ship from being destroyed.
Guess from all the replies here the actual purpose of those timers is to allow a chance for PvP action to continue, mainly for low / null sec and War Targets active in high sec.
Now if NPC warp scram has no affect on E-warp, then that 5 minute NPC timer is useless, especially if the mid and low slot modules stay active for the duration of the log off timer until the ship disappears from grid.
The NPC timer definitely won't stop players from using the log out option to save their ship from being destroyed by NPC's and as I said before, the chance of someone probing their ship down within the 5 minute timer to do combat is very small, especially in high sec with Concord active.
Makes me wonder if the character of the disconnected player still shows as active in local chat for the duration of those timers??

If the player is logging off to escape death when seeing another player coming in his/her mission/DED plex to attack his/her ship, maybe the fact that your ship has been probed down already should be considered, so probing a logged off and NPC or PVP agroed ship will take no time at all. This includes your pod.
I know.

I lost a machariel last week to a disconnect because I was scrammed. I had a cap stable tank but it was a minimal tank (because mach speed tanks), logged back in still scrammed and in hull, couldn't save the ship. A damage control would have save me.
Replacement machariel hss damage control on. I got sloppy after 7 years of missioning and paid for it. |

Once you buy up your sec status, the Sisters of EVE arc has a mission where you're pointed. If you get a warp-speed-rigged frigate or destroyer you can blitz through the other missions to get to it. Proud founder and member of the Belligerent Desirables. |

OK, hopefully I'm on the same page as everyone else in regards to logging off.
Quote:When the client disconnects from the server :

No E-Warp if ship is Warp Scrammed by Player or NPC. If ship is destroyed, Pod will E-Warp to random location 1 mill km's away and stay there for timer duration (5 min NPC, 15 min PvP), then disappear.
Any aggression against the disconnected ship extends the timer duration indefinitely until ship is destroyed or remains in space untouched for full timer duration.
All high slot modules turn off when client disconnects, all mid and low slot modules stay active for timer duration until ship disappears.
In Bastion Mode, ship will E-Warp after Bastion Module completes it's cycle. Now if that's not correct then please post correction so that everyone, especially me, has the correct info.

My PC blue screens quite a bit and in my marauder with bastion enabled I will just stay there till I log back in, normally takes about 5 mins to get back in, longer than that I am not sure what happens. The bastion and all tanking mods stay active. Because of my terrible pc I make sure I am cap stable with sufficient tank and have never come back to an almost dead ship. All the marauders can have enough dps/tank to be cap stable easily. I have t2 large cap rigs and always at least 3 damage mods. It isn't optimal but the loss of missile rigs, turret rigs is hardly noticeable. I guess if you don't have a decent tank the npc will wear you down eventually. But for shield maruaders a large sb works fine and is easy to make cap stable. Of all the marauders the paladin is the most difficult to get the right balance, but I do go for omni tanks as I am lazy. Without bastion.. you just warp off, dependant of course on obstructions and not sure about scramming frigs as I always kill them first.

I DC while in bastion mode, with my kronos, in Assault L4 mission. For my luck, I was quite at the end of a Megathron spawn, just three left. My repper was off at time of DC, and I was 10% in structure.
But, it wasn't DC, it was FREEZE for 36 seconds.
A DC in a burner mission, with a Wolf, on log back, was in 10% left structure. Was 10% in armor when DC strucked. I lost the Wolf. Petitioned. And I was reinbursed. Burners scrambles. No warp out.
Bacvk to the Kronos. DC didn't occour. The FREEZE ended after 36 sec. and I was in 10% left Armor. I was able to rep back and finish the mission. If there were just one Megathron more.... I don't wanna think about it...
I can't afford to lose my Kronos. As I can't afford to lose ANY of my ships after all, they are my ships, and I luv them.
What You can do, is avoid havin any other program open connected to the Internet when you are playing. Or have automatic updates turned on. It is proved that this can cause a FREEZE and\or DC, and this is your system, not Internet. Then there is Internet congestion. If your GUI FREEZE at any time, clicking an object in space, or warping, something is wrong.
Kill all scramblers first, it always help in worst case scenarios..

Only reason I survive is a decent tank and am cap stable. I will update my test server and test it on the weekend.

Bastion stay on (assuming auto repeat), as does your tank - cap stable marauders FTW.
I can't say what happens if bastion is NOT on auto repeat. Gut says you've missed your ewarp chance and you'll probably die in a fire. |

I did a 'Safe Log' last night out in space and my ship didn't go into warp. It just stayed in the same location with a 1 minute countdown timer happening. I was able to run D-scan, switch chat tabs, etc. After the timer was done the client disconnected so I guess my ship then warped 100 mill km away and disappeared.
Granted it's not a disconnect but it did exactly what I had first originally thought the timers did. Stayed in the same location for a specific amount of time and then warp away.
I don't know, maybe CCP programed 'Safe Log' like that to keep people from easily making deep safe spots.

Safe Log is different from what is being discussed. eWarp occurs when you disconnect suddenly. For instance, power outage or break in the connection between your client and the server.
Safe Log is an optional way to log out so that when you do, your ship will not be visible in space by probers. |
