I really don't moan much about losing a ship as I take risks and happy to do so and if I lose doing this then so be it.
This is not about any personal mistake I made it about LAG!!!! I was happily going in for a play with a Dominix in my crow. Now I know I am not going to kill the guy but if he is mining its going to p1ss him off. So I approach knowing full well that he has drones and to stay well clear if they launch. Well I do this and happily warp scramble him with my new 28k true sansha disruptor(72 mill) move in close fire a few vollys of missiles then move back and target drones until they get too close and fly off.
Well on my second pass orbiting at 25k I get hit by lag almighty, so I do my best to click anyplace away from the drones to avoid getting fried. This failed and I kept orbiting well i must have as I saw shield/armour and hull disapear in the next frame i saw.
Now I know I risk my ship taking on a BS with a shed load of drones but the way i had no control over my ship in such a vital stage of combat has really kicked me in the nuts.
So its less of a direct attack on anything but more of a frustration vent to allow me to clear my head and continue to play. Not sure if I can send a petition for this but advice on if I can would be nice.
Note. It was inevitable after 2 months without loss I fork out 72 million on a mod and lose it the next day.

By the time the lag hit you, your ship was already gone.
Drones are messed up, huge lag is an indicator that your ship just died (a lot of dmg calculations, email sending stuff and so on).

Not at all I was out of range when lag hit, so it was during the time I was under the influence that the destruction of my ship happened.
I know how to avoid drones without much trouble and would accept if I had made an error with my approach but I didn't. Lag hit then my crow was no more.

Lost a tempest with loads of tech 2 kit to the same thing to a real simple NPC spawn as well.  but CCP did answer my petition so 
Also I have noticed there does seem to be more lag than normal in the recent fleet battles I have been in.
There has always been lag in these but your lucky to get 1 FPS these days.

Had the issue with The Blockade....Two missons 70km apart ......rat spawns.....cans....jumpgate....people watching ...people waiting to nick loot....more rats spawn ...more cans ....somewhere in there was some LAG.
Kinder kills the experience ...or worse your ship.
Now tell me its my computer ...someone always does

If you are within 28km and your opponent has a little bit of drone skill, you are dead.
My drones happily shoot stuff at 28km and longer range (not about the bug when you are distancing, but the actual distance the target is at when drones engage).

What you talking about if I see drones and am more than 20k away from them I know I have at least 5-10 second if not more until I have to warp away. So your drone skill has nothing to do with how I react to drones. I know how close I can be and what risks to take. If I can't control my ship during lag then I am going to get fried, but while under my control I will never be.

And I am said pk'er, but to be killed under these circumstances knocks you for 6. I want to be killed by another pilots skills not by Lag!!

A corpmate of mine lost two crows this same way, he was taking on multiple frigs and just locked up. I know for a fact this doesnt hit only when you die, because the first crow he lost was killed after i warped in and deployed drones to try to save him.

here's an observation - after i kill a ship, and warp my second account in to assist- the destroyed ship is often still present for a while as if it is still alive and fighting, although on the other account it is already dead.
not saying that was the case with you, but sometimes warping in can be pretty out of sync with server and create the appearance that ships are still alive when they aren't -- which again is due to lag so it fits this topic pretty well.
