Mordus Headhunters, second room, Bastion fired up and melting rats with every exhalation of my fire-breathing 800 ACs. Incoming damage? No worries, mate. The Pith B X/L tops me up every five seconds and life is sweet, safe and good, clean, murderous fun. Suddenly, targeting keeps targeting, guns keep spinning out ammo on non-existent locks and I realise that the Eve I see on my 55-inch screen is no more than an illusion. I type WTF into local, press Enter and, yep, sure enough: 'Socket lost' (to paraphrase). 'Quick, mate, log back in,' I jibber, hand all a-quiver on mouse. Delay, delay, delay, intro tones ... capsule. 'What,' I ask myself and all with an opinion, ' is the point in Bastion if a Scandinavian socket purge can accomplish what sixty annoyed red crosses can't?' |

Risk vs reward
More dps for less cap stability was your failure, not the loss of connection

Fair enough to all. Now, perhaps some information: is it Bastion that affects the socket lost protocol I've previously observed? When bumped off in a Mach, I've logged back in to find my ship warping back to mission - not so in this case. |

You won't find a solution here, just people telling you to HTFU, including me. However, what I'll also tell you is that occasionally CCP are in a forgiving enough mood that a polite petition explaining the problem might get you a ship replacement. It probably won't, but it might, and it's worth a try. I do highly recommend though that you understand and remember in the future that internet faults happen, and on an MMO, this sort of thing is inevitable. It might be on your end, it might be on CCP's, and it might be somewhere inbetween. At the end of the day, this is something you should consider when embarking on your expeditions. I've lost many a ship due to connection difficulties and these days, I chalk it up to the loss that was gonna happen anyway, and move on.

The fact that the game client takes so long to notice it has lost connection and you can't easily close it out when it does is pretty annoying. However, it happens. If you think it's a big deal file a petition for reimbursement and you may get it back (sand dropped mods). |

Ok, I'll try to be clear. A ship lost is par for the course - no worries. I would like to know if Bastion is the issue. If it is, I'll fit accordingly ... without it. |

I had a socket close recently. I was lucky that I was ship spinning at the time. I hear through the grapevine that there's been a sporadic problem with it.
Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

One, file a petition, anything can happen
Two, most of the time an emergency disconnect will result in your ship warping off randomly in a direction unless a) you are scrammed and/or b) you are in siege/bastion/industrial(I think Rorq's still so this right?)
Three, Bastion would have provided you the resists and the time to log back in and save your ship. But as others have stated, ability to cap stable your tank D/C proofs your marauder
And last, the reason you lost your ship was because you couldn't tell you have disconnected because you were doing PVE half-afk. Had you been more attentive then the tell tale signs of disconnect would have tipped you off.
Regardless, CCP needs to have a connection monitor on the UI. Upper or lower right maybe, a ping monitor, green, yellow, red and Black would be great. I am pretty sure every online game I have ever played had this, including crap games like Delta Force.

Don't your active reps stop cycling when you disconnect but not your hardeners?
Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!

Not when you are on an active timer. All modules stay online as long as you have cap when on an active timer.

If you feel you've lost a ship to a problem with EVE, file a support ticket to have the situation investigated.
Don't post on the forums regarding it, as this won't help recover the ship.
Locked.
P.S. - I agree, build a cap stable loadout in future.
