Who ever said petitioning over lag? I sometimes wonder if people fail to read (or think) before they post.
ASCN doesn't petition any more then anybody else. The only petitions that get filed are from node crashes. I believe Mighty is talking about the fact the DD weapon hit him while he was in warp and over 3 au away (which would be out of its range).
Having seen the actual footage of the titan weapon blast, and having seen several smaller ships warp out well after the doomsday weapon effect had gone off, I wonder if this could have been lag? I also sometimes wonder if people post without knowning all the facts.
Now without insulting anyone, in relation to petitioning with node crashes, how long after the node crash do you guys petition? can you regroup have a fleet fight and then petition those loses if it was just after a node crash? Again both sides suffer from a node crash, so what entitles a petition in that case?
I am not flaming, I am interested in what constitutes a petitionable, reimbursement.
I lost a Scorp after fleet jumped in TCAG, and node crashed. I petitioned it immediately.
Basically, we jumped, everything went boom (EVE client, I mean :), I cleared cache, tried to login back. Couldn't login back for 7-8 minutes (was trying repeatedly), was always stuck at "ENTERING GAME" screen (with LOTS of green/red icons on the right-hand side :), and wallet was ok - no insurance payout. After 7-8 minutes, wallet (on character selection screen) went up, and I was suddenly able to login very fast back into the game. Was in a pod, sitting at completely random location (not at gate where I guess I died, or where we jumped though). Petitioned it while I was trying to login (as "stuck" type of petition), and provided screenshots of failed login attempts (stuck at "ENTERING GAME" screen). That was the only petition I ever did.
I didn't really think they'd even answer, but 2-3 days later I was reimbursed.
Don't mind dying, I'd just like to see it when it happens :)
I lost a Scorp during suicide attack on dreads in GQ2, lag was absolutelly horribly super turbo incredible (even after following all the fleet-battle-tweaking-guides :), but no point in petitioning it. I couldn't deactivate active mods, nor activate deactivated mods - nor could warp, move or anything else. But I saw Sabre cross 100+km, come to me and drop the bubble on me - without being able to do anything :) Oh well, bad luck, I'm sure I was not the only one lagged. I could move in pod after dying, though, although that **** dictor bubble is REALLY big when you're trying to get out of it, in a pod 
I don't think anyone petitions because of the lag, tbh.
