Easy solution is to take 30sec instead of 15 to log out, and if you killtask make it so your ship stays in game for 30sec still anyway. Most MMO's have this feature. Game crashes or you lose connection in EQ? When you try to log back in it tells you that you have a character logged in still, would you like to log them out?
I meant that there is actually no relevant argument against combat logging outside of the multiplayer experience. People that bring up combat logging as it pertains to solo aren't presenting a relevant argument.
As has been brought up multiple times, there's no justification to care about it. It only matters in multiplayer affairs, and that's because you're influencing another player's experience.

Let me spell it out for you. Combat logging is a non issue and it does not affect you. It's funny that you would argue about it.
Since we are talking about a multiplayer computer game the oxford definition doesn't apply here. You could also give me the definition of a keyboard (music instrument) but it doesn't apply when I am talking about computers (the thing with letters on it).
Leaving the game because I don't want to spend time with you is not an unfair advantage, it's just leaving the game because I don't want to spend time with you. For me this is like kids playing soccer and one needs to leave because his mommy made soup.
Btw I don't combat log and I am not interested in PvP.
I don't know, I think that combat logging against the AI is just as bad (combat loggers dont bother me much in general anyway).
It's still avoiding the built in penalties of the game whether you are avoiding a CMDR or an NPC. I think most CMDRs just don't care about people doing it in solo.

Who cares though?
This is a solution looking for a problem. FDev has already clearly stated that logging out to Menu during combat is Okay. If you survive those 15 seconds then you get away and have done nothing wrong. So, nothing needs to change there.

OK so that's fine if you don't mind cheating in games I suppose.
Yeah, but it would fix the problem the OP is complaining about. Just answering him/her.

People obviously do, what is you're problem? You're answer to everyone's concerns can't just be Who cares?
Yea if you want to magically grant yourself 259052809439625 credits I really don't care, and no one should.
Well if cheating is ok with people, then no one I guess. Killing your game or pulling the plug to avoid being destroyed is an exploit, whether you do it against a person or AI is irrelevant.
My answer is that what I do with my game does not affect you at all, so why are you making a stink about it?
People pulling the plug in the middle of combat in order to completely avoid dying at all doesn't effect the game?
Not losing money. Not losing progress.
How does that not effect every single player in the game?
Why even have money in the game. Why not just give us everything for free sInce there is effectively no penalty for anything at all apart from honesty.
Just because you don't care about risk and reward or PVP doesn't mean that it does not matter.

Yes, its is relative to the discussion, we are both communicating an english speaking fourm. So the Oxford dictionary and the words within used to describe actions does very much apply.
If you are silly enough not to see how someone combat logging when about to be destroyed is cheating then you either naive or being obtuse. Ship destruction receives a penalty, in the form of an insurance cost, by combat logging you are avoiding this penalty, giving you an unfair advantage, in game money you should not have.
Leaving the game is fine, combat logging to avoid ships destruction is cheating.

I could care less if you combat log all day. I don't even care when players combat log before I can destroy their ships. It's admitting defeat and also admitting they are too much of a baby to pay insurance. Fine with me.
Wow, what a fantastic explosion... can I have my cargo now?

Hahaha it has everything to do with it. You do realise we all share the same BGS don't you?
cheating in solo is pretty irrelevant, tbh I feel like i'm cheating just by trashing all these Elite Anacondas all day, but cheating vs other players is a harsh detriment to the general experience, to get a similar comparison for solo the NPC's would have to randomly one shot you to really get that cheesed feeling 
Its also a cop-out to say all PvP is massive ship vs sidewinder, when I was playing pirate only in vanilla I had a tally for the people that combat logged the most and it was anacondas by an absolute mile, even though they were immune to piracy with any effort whatsoever -_-
Conversely T9's and T6's had a perfect score and I had over 100 T6's.

Exactly. At least as long as we are talking about online gaming. A cheat is a godmode/wallhack/aimbot basically everything that isn't possible for a normal player while an exploit is the usage of mechanics that are available to everyone but not allowed. There is a difference for both in every league and punishment is handled differently. You'll get banned for using a cheat and you get penalty points for exploits.
Why do you play in open if you know that you might encounter combat loggers?
It's obvious that FDEV hasn't taken action yet. Why do you think the 10000th on this topic would help? The only solution you could have right now would be a private group without combat loggers.
