I had my ship's screen bloken in a CZ. D life sullort gave me 7.5 minutes, plenty of time to get to the station, so off I flee. Got out of masslock and into supercruise. Interdicted, so I resisted and beat the minigame. Station wasn't far, it's a little harder to get to without most of the HUD, but I managed OK. Dropped to the station, but it took me 40 very slow seconds to get into real space. I made it to the station, so no problem for me.
But the reason I have created this thread, is that during the extended drop from supercruise the life support counter kept ticking. The station could have been a lot further away. I might had lost the interdiction and had a fight lasting a few minutes. Maybe I could have been interdicted a couple meore times. It's also possible that the drop from supercruise could have taken several minutes. All these things happen on occasion, but had they happened then, I would have been sitting in the insurance office rather than the maintenance bay.
.
The life support counter continuing during the supercruise drop is nicely immersive an all, but it could easily have cost me my ship. I don't mind a rebuy when it's my fault, but not when it's due to a slow network connection.
