It happened to me twice already I lost a ship because of the connection getting lost when I was attacking pirates.  I know that's the risk of playing online, but that doesn't make it any more fun. I'd like to see an option that your ship will shoot automatically anything that poses a threat to it and is within range. Of course ppl will have to use this very carefully. If you have this option on while in .5 or higher it's easy to be taken out when plp lock on you so you auto-fire back. But it's quite nice when attacking pirates, so at least you have a chance to save your ship when you lose the connection at a very bad time, because your ship will still attack the pirates. Any thoughts?
(if something like this has been posted before: sorry, but this forum needs a search!)

A gate camper shoots at you while trying to run his blockade, you autofire back and... you can't jump anymore.

There are many moments you don't want aut-fire, that's very obvious. That's why you need an option to toggle it on/off. And it would also come in handy if it has fof-capabilities so you don't shoot your corp mates. But when going into battle it might come in handy, just in case the connection gets lost.

Lmao, that would be great to have. Screw security rating hits, all somebody would do is sit at a gate and target passers by, who would shoot at him, then get nailed by the sentries. JUST FOR LOCKING ON! Ooh, afk fighting, also a great twist to this, you don't even have to be at your comp to make money!
Great idea there yakov.

I think we can safely say that the pros are outweighed by the cons on this one.
All online PvP games have the same problem: if they remove players when the connection drops, ppl will just disconnect on purpose to avoid getting killed; if they don't, then ppl will lose their ships through no fault of their own when the line goes down.
Been over 20 years now, and nobody's found a solution yet. Makes me think perhaps there isn't one.
