If a ship gets disconnected before it escapes gate cloak, was it ever really there?

Guaranteed if too many people abuse the disconnect-on-jump mechanics, CCP will not look on as favourably. In the meantime while the majority of disconnects are due to crash-to-desktop or other session change nuisances, expect CCP to lean closer to the "let it slide" side of the argument.
Getting upset about it and launching into a foaming-at-the-mouth rant about how this is "unfair" to honest gate campers who have to wait around for the freighter to log back in before they can shoot it, is not going to win you any favours with the folks at CCP. If you can stick to reasonable, thought-out comments, you'll have a greater chance of people taking you seriously (instead of, for example, this thread being passed around the CCP offices with devs chuckling, "HE MAD? HE MAD!").

An application I'm working on has all manner of issues, most of the people who have the problem are located in places that have decent technology supporting their Internet connection, but they have oppressive governments who require ISPs to interfere with the data transiting the ISP's network. These are places like the USA where you have rules about ISP policing copyright infringement, for example, or carriers who sell "unlimited" data plans, then use a bastardised form of random early drop to control traffic when the flow gets too high.
I'd expect Kazakhstan to have better Internet reliability than the USA because their government doesn't mandate that ISP futz with your packets.

I was thinking more along the lines of "freighter pilots bringing a scout and enough backup to mess up your little gate camping fleet." I only fear such things happening because the forums will be filled with the tears of gate campers complaining how hard it is to find decent fights these days, with everyone "blobbing" like it was going out of fashion.

Ah, so you're not with Comcast, good to hear  |
