Malken didn't you read the thread? Some of the ships disappeared in 20-30 seconds apparently. I seem to remember reading somewhere that deliberately logging in an alt character to "instadisappear" is classed as an exploit? Probably my imagination. Try petitioning them?

The GMs are utterly clueless most of the time. Not their fault I suppose, they rely on rule clarifications handed down from mystical GM high command. They are probably unaware that there are 2 different situations:
A - Ship disappears 2 minutes after player logs off (works as designed).
B - Ship disappears before 2 minutes because the player logs an alternate character on (this is EXPLOITING OUT OF GAME mechanics).
The fix is pretty simple (and it IS a bugfix - not a change to the rules), don't let people log an alternate character on until their other characters disappear from space. And no, this shouldn't prevent people from logging back on straight away after a crash because it should only apply to other characters in that account (not the one that logged off).

A GM clarification would be nice, to settle this issue once and for all.

FFS stfu already, all of you! Smack smack smack etc. If they just fix the damn ALT LOGIN _EXPLOIT_ this whole problem will be sorted. 2 minutes is well enough time to kill a battleship, no need to even change the game mechanics! Everytime someone disappears prematurely, PETITION it. And I DARE someone to complain about removing this unintended "feature"...
Altho, with the new covert ops scanning changes, maybe a 5 minute timer would be nice  But don't mind me - I'm just a griefer that wants to change the game to benefit myself

Why would he be banned? CCP have not made their position clear on this matter. We don't know that it is classed as an exploit so we are just innocently discussing ways to blatantly abuse game mechanics. Nothing to see here folks, move along please...

Errr no, using ingame tactics (no matter how lame) cannot be compared to using outofgame tactics (character screen). Especially since the outofgame cheating can be easily detected in this case!

Zdragva - I was being sarcastic. Maybe you shouldn't post about intelligence.
