The title says it all basically; when you get disconnected (or intentionally log out) while in space, your ship apparently warps in a random direction, and as soon as you're able to log back in it seems to return to (close to) where you were to start with.
Does anyone know how far this automatic warp jump is please?
Thanks

You warp out almost exactly 1 000 000km, afaik.

Edited by: Cletus Graeme on 03/05/2006 12:13:21 So what happens if u log off while in a firefight ? This sounds like an easy way to avoid getting podded ? And does it allow u to warp even if u are being warp scrambled ?

1) your ship tries to warp away 2) It's not insta-warp, there is a moments delay 3) no. RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!

When you arrive out of an emergency warp (i.e. you lost link) your ship stays in the game only briefly, except if you have a PvP timer. This timer is activated as soon as you or anyone else activates a module involving your ship. I.e. you scramble someone, or someone shoots you etc. You'll stay in the game for around 15 minutes and hopefully by then you'll have been probed out, popped and podded. Thankfully closing the client doesn't let people get out of losing a ship. Although it's rumoured to be a small bug where you can get your pod out of an interdictor bubble if you cut your link.

I have heard of freaghters jumping into bubble camps and logging and they warp off unable to be locked or scrambled.

So does this mean that once this period is elapsed (a moment for non-aggro'd ships and 15 minutes for aggro'd ships) that the ship is totally gone from the game? Surely this can't be right can it, especially with all the threads about safespots and busting them. If this is right then your ship is safe simply by logging when you're not aggro'd, no matter where you are, and pffft! your ship is gone from the game...

bingo
But it's become something of an art to agrro people fast these days. So it's really only an issue in a minority of cases (freighters being the obvious one)
edit: that "moment" is two minutes btw.

Edited by: Stamm on 04/05/2006 11:21:44 That's right. If you have no timer, you will be gone when you come out of emergency warp. And then it takes someone to go to the effort to scan you out. You stay in the game after the emergency warp if someone activated a module on you, or you activated a module on someone else. I don't know if remote repairers/energy transfer arrays count though - they probably do.
So yes, dropping your link can get you out fast - but so can warping to a celestial object.
Edit : I don't know exactly when your ship leaves the game with no timer, but it's not long enough to get scanned out.
