So my FW fleet and I are sitting around Heimatar lowsec the other day after a bit of a fight, wondering what to do.
One of us picks up an enemy ship on local scan but realizes the pilot isn't logged in system. Their ship is in space with that 15 minute countdown thingy! Oh**** get your prober!
So after a couple of minutes we track the mofo down and warp our little fleet into his emergency warp safe spot and sure enough, there he is, all logged off and stuff. So we proceed to point and start shooting at him.
He starts going into the half armour mark when suddenly -- POOF! He disappears right before our very eyes. Not explodes, not warps away, just plain vanishes.
Sufficed to say this was very disappointing as we realized we had just seen the end of the 15-minute aggro timer. Which of course begs the question: Why the ****? A ship/player should not be allowed to magically vanish while being locked, pointed and aggressed upon after logging out. How dare you CCP.

More accurately they found him near the end of his 15-minute timer, and since he didn't have aggression when he logged he was going to disappear regardless of anything they did (except blowing him up in the precious few minutes they had left).

I personally would like it better if the ship "cloaks" instead of poofing away.

What? How exactly do you propse that works? So it's possible to decloak it? That's crazy.

we did better, killed a T3 the exact moment it disapeared, Glitched to hell, we got 1/2 a kill mail, as did he, and yet the ship exploded and yet was still there in space until the DT (14 ish hours) when he logged in he had the KM and still had the ship

Well the only way his ship would stay in space for 15 mins, is indeed if he did have aggro. Otherwise the ship would vanish after 1 min once he logged or lost connection.

It's a ******ed mechanic.
If a ship is pointed, it should not be able to magically vanish.

Well Ships logged out SHOULD disappear after 15 min. and i have the scenario for why(unlikely, but still someone out there would use it)
Make an alt.
Have him find a noobcorp retriever can-mining in a belt.
Flipp his can.
He steals
you point and web him.
He sends drones, you kill drones.
Then you set orbit to 5km and go AFK until downtime.
And there's nothing he or any of his friends can do about it. (except for a "Stuck"-petition maybe)

Gj coming up with an absurd scenario 
The 15 minute timer isn't much of a problem IMO. You will die more often than not if you log with aggression in space. People logging off while they still have gate cloak so you can't point them to give them aggression in time is broken though. Even moreso the ability to log in at a different spot. I won't lie, I've used those tricks myself, but I would still like to see them removed from the game. Right now I can fly around lowsec in a BS and know that if I jump into a camp I can't get out of I can just log
