I think that even with non-engineered components you can last 15 seconds, even if you go silent running and accept the heat penalty. The only way they'd get you is if you waited until your hull was at an extremely low level.
The 15 second logout timer in action

Not the dichotomy evidenced here, nor would it be even if the OP's video wasn't a tongue-in-cheek mockery.
Those who favor PvP vs. those who prefer PvE says nothing about who is willing to abuse various game mechanisms or flaws to harass others.
I assure you I'm not baiting or in any way asking for someone to interdict me over and over. Just making murder hobos into MY emergent content.
Hey turnabout seems like fairplay to me!
@Morbad, you need to get a sense of humour there mate!
Lacking appropriate context, I have no way of knowing the tone of a text based message so have only a literal interpretation to fallback on.
It's simple go with the tone of the OP!
I was able to divine the OP's tone by looking at other videos on his channel and recalling prior posts of his in a related thread. I had no such context available by which to interpret a non-literal meaning to your post and I felt that any assumptions without such context would be overreaching.
It depends on weps brought to bear. Beams won't get er done. I've killed loggers within the 15secs, but that's with conda or vette using PAs/frags/mc/missiles. It can be a fun mini game in its own way.
I thought the OP was pretty clear in the humour it displays, dunno but deciding to interpret something soooo literally is making assumptions in of itself, so to summarize, get a sense of humour!
Judging from my own experience with your combat skills OP, you definitely could benefit from the menu logout option.

If i was a game dev that came up with mechanics like these, just to cover up other flaws in my design and by that influence the present and next generations of gamers, i would be ashamed of myself.
Gamers that have experienced a "legit" method to make their character disappear in the middle of a fight with other HUMAN players, thats what is teached here.

Exactly, I for one propose that everyone starts KOS because it's roleplaying before activating their stealth drives 15 seconds after nuking starting players.
Don't forget to turn your healybeams on maximum inside a station. Working as intended my dudes.
Good point. Many ships won't last the 15 second countdown, so this could be seen as a nice bit of trolling. Either way, I like it.

my Emergent Content Delivery Ship could likely handle significantly more than 15 seconds. Althoufh I wouldn't be stupid enough to try several back-to-back menu logs with a ganker to has a meta build. Much like they, I'd fly back to the station for repairs in solo.
In a Beta a while ago we tested this strategy og joining multicrew and what happens to your ship. It appeared that the second I joined another ship in multicrew my ship disappeared. Don't know if this "feature" survived into live build but if so: there you got your totally legit instant "teleport" without any timer.
