In amongst all the combat logging threads, I mostly see players who are pirates complaining about traders who are combat logging. But not seeing any of the traders respond who admit to combat logging.
That said, about 15 minutes ago, I'm in my Type 6 returning from a bit of mining out in the Yemba 1 rings, heading back to base to call it a day, and lo I get interdicted by a commander. Call him Pirate Calico. Its not his full name, but then this post isn't really about being upset and naming and shaming, its more an apology, but also something curious happened and wondering if the CMDR in question is on the forums to hear his side.
Pirate Calico immediately introduces himself and demands I dump some cargo (all friendly like though). I do a quick negotiation and he accepts my 5 tons on offer. At this point I'm fiddling to jettison the cargo and realising my cargo hatch has been disabled because Im overdrawn on power, so more fiddling with onlining and offlining modules. Then I dump some cargo.
And then I'm about to wish him on his merry way, only to realize I'm alone in my instance. Now theres heaps of discussion on these forums about traders combat logging, but none so far as I can see where the pirate combat logs. Yet this is exactly what it seemed like. Yet I don't believe he did. But I'm wondering whether the same happened for him where I dissapeard off of his radar too. As such neither do I want him to think I'm just another trader who also combat logs. Hence the apology. (I had to quickly rescoop my cargo before the timer made them disappear, so in part, thank you for disappearing)
But also, I'm wondering if all this combat logging may be some sort of instancing bug, because a trader dissappearing due to "reinstancing" could certainly look like he logged out forcefully.
