Eagle pilots in LP Resource Extraction

To the Eagle pilot in LP today at about 12:50 BST I would like to ask if you are end-tasking during our fights? Or are you managing to supercruise away whilst inside the asteroids within 10 seconds of firing your weapons? You were at about 1.5km range as you ran from me when you disappeared. I've seen a couple of Eagle pilots doing this today. <removed pilot's name>

Has anyone else come across this? When they reappear after about a minute they reappear with full shields. Seems like it gives these pilots a major advantage.

Can anyone shed any light on what is happening? I only lost a dual pulse Sidey so I'm not too bothered but I'd like to understand what happened so I can improve.

Naming and shaming isnt allowed... that been said, yes alot of people use END TASK to save there equipment during this pBeta stage. Its a known exploit and i expect it to be dealt with in coming builds.

From what your saying, it looks like ED just logs you off instantly. Needs attention also.
 
Were they firing at you or fleeing? It could be that as they were fleeing they were charging their FSD and trying to escape. If for instance they were flying backwards while shooting at you then they probably crashed the game deliberately or their client just crashed on its own. It shouldn't be possible to activate the FSD while within the belt though.
 
What's the deal with this naming and shaming stuff anyway? If you do something bad you deserve to be named and shamed in my opinion.

I don't mind being called out on my murderous ways. That's MY extraction site. :D

Because it can cause ill feeling to the person named and we end up with an uglier forum environment in the long run. Plus they might actually be innocent of what has been attributed to them!
Initially we were fighting. When I get their shields down they turn and flee, within about 10 seconds of me giving chase they disappear. It was the same for both pilots.
They are probably quitting then as it would take longer than that for their FSD to charge I think.
 
Yeah, I expect FD will put in something like a 30 second - 1 minute delay between the client dc-ing and the ship poofing.

It's a pretty low cheat, too. I had someone try that on me (now that I realise what it was - I thought they somehow stealthed and then regenerated shields really quickly). I still got the kill - it just took longer.

Forum rules. Stops all the noobs falsely accusing some innocent dood because they lost and turning the forums into a raging mess.
 
Heh I'm going to open up a website / app just for naming and shaming and allow everyone to post their stories. Then have a DB meter showing how much of a DB they are according to others.

They don't allow it here though. Although they should allow a sub forum for it specifically. People need to be held accountable for their behavior.

How is this not open to the worst deliberate abuse? I wouldn't trust anything unless it was accompanied by a Youtube video, and oh look! we've recreated Russia's propensity for dashboard cams. Thanks for making the future a better place.
 
I've removed their names. They don't deserve it though. Filthy cheating scum! :D

Yeah basically.

Its got to do with the way the game saves its data. Once its stored server side, and a crash/alt+F4/Disconnect can be handled by an AI trying to warp out and them dealing with whatever is left.
