This is very easy tbh i can¦t imagine how CCP GM¦s could make a wrong turn.
If you want the result of the fight to stand and you didn¦t "giveback" or respawn any capitalships then remove the duplicated ships from the game.
If logs shows them as dead KILL THEM.
And seriously this would be best in the long run for everyone, since this is bound to happen again sooner or later and i would think it would make the game suck if you respawn all capitalship loses in fights, then whats the point?
Tbh, I think the problem is that the logs show them as both alive in one system and dead in another. They are not so much ghost ships, as it seems the server code is written so that a ship exists in one system before it is deleted in another. However if a node dies or lags out before the command to delete the ships reaches them and they get destroyed, then they still exist in the system they jump to as that is how the code was written, and was presumably how the pilots were able to jump into a system, warp to a pos, take a screenshot and log off, while in the other system the code was attempting to delete the ships out of the system yet due to node death wasn't able to get there in time before they were destroyed. I expect that a little later on, after the node was working again, the code finally made it back to the pilots that the ship with the same ID as theirs was destroyed and hence removed. However once downtime hit and the server does its daily maintenance of DB cleanup and other SQL fluff, it found the ships alive in the system they were jumped to and put them back in the system. (This is however only a guess as how their code is written, as I haven't actually seen it. Only one of their SQL devs could tell you for sure, and they won't)
I would just let CCP do their job in this case. Any post by SC or NC is going to be bias in some way anyway, there are hardly any neutral observers, everyone has an agenda, so these posts should be discounted in any informed decision. Whatever they do, CCP is going to **** off one half of the debate. There will be no winners here. As far as I can see it both sides have a valid claim that the ships should be destroyed / alive.
Regardless i'm loving the tears in this thread. Keep em going! :twisted:
