Yes it should.

You shouldn't be able to avoid consequence. If you do something wrong that's going to get you blown up you should get blown up, not be able to log off to save your ship.

Pretty funny coming from people who used drakes for battles. I should probably go play WoW to feel as safe as you guys fly.

ship warps off to a safe spot

The use of drakes in pvp has what baring on this subject exactly?

It is "kind of related".
CCP has introduced a new "feature" where ships that have engaged in some for of combat, can't do a logoffski if in trouble.
The ship just sits there, in space.

The timer is 15 minutes if you engaged a player, and 5 minutes if you were engaged in PvE.

Now, imagine you are in a gunboat BS, like a Mach or Nightmare.
Further visualize all your small drones evaporated by the new and improved AI, and you are being scrammed by NPC frigs which your guns can't track. Your tank is slowly being whittled down.

Now, with the new 5 minute timer, what tactic do you do to prevent your ship from going poofy?

A "logoffski" shouldnt matter at all during a PVE fight. That timer doesnt make sense at all.

Everybody had a socket close every once in a while and should not be punished for that. Its hard enough when you can immediate login back, which takes you 1-2 minutes.

CCP would do good to get rid of this non pvp timer.

If the server knows that your client has disconnected. What can be hard in case of a power failure. The 5 minute timer doesn't really change anything for those that had a legitimate connection loss because in many cases the server didn't warp you off anyways. It's for sure a nice trap for logoffskies.

I don't follow your logic, unless you're scrammed you can warp out at any time so how can you lose a ship?

If you are scrammed you're not going anywhere whether there's a logoff timer or not.

People say their risky behavior is flying drakes into battle.

I do not like the idea that CCP has deemed us all as cheaters!

you are the first DEVS to control players NOT in game. PENALTY ?
You have set up a timer penalty system!

Players do drop connection for a split second due to packet lost or power failure , be that there fault or not, 15 min is extreme and insulting !

Congratulations EVE CCP you are the first DEVS to have control of players NOT in game. be that now 15 min from 5 !
Is this Cruel childish or just plain arrogance?

''i was in a lvl 4 mission with 2 chars on 2 computers 2 screen's as 3rd corp member arrive i lost one char connection and could not re join for 15 min .while haplessly watching my ship blow up!- from the 2nd char computer . the fact i could not log back in is really arrogant and NOT good customer service . because you think we are cheating or maco bot using. when does
NOT Happy !
FACT. disconection happens all the time . get over it and show some respect!

You've got it wrong. If you haven't disconnected, you'd be able to easily permatank the rats while deploying new drones to kill these scraming frigs and fire guns to kill larger rats. There's no way your ship will pop in this common situation that happens all the time.

But since you've disconnected, you ship has no skills, don't fire, and can't deploy drones. 5 minute timer ensures that your ship pop in such a common situation that happens all the time.
