Well, I can confirm from my experiences last night that if you have just started a mission with heavy damage output in Bastion Mode and you disconnect then you are pretty much screwed.

Lost my Golem :-(

Not going to whine about it. I have petitioned but from what I am reading here and elsewhere looks like CCP will not re-imburse me.

So, armed with this experience I say to hell with bastion mode, it's back to dual boxing Tengu for me! :-) I was dual boxing Golem / Tengu last night and the Tengu ewarped and survived just fine. Bastion mode Maurauder would appear to be just not worth the risk. Shame because i loved the ship and the bastion mode, but I just can't afford that happening again

This is not cool, I have been using marauders for missions for a while but I know that using bastion mode in it's current state is foolish. And still not a single word from CCP, usually they are really good at responding to stuff but this is just crazy.

Eat Lead!!! Err....Antimatter...whatever!

Just happened to me again.... Only saved by the permarun medium repper (was at around 20% armor when I got back).

CCP - please let the emergency warp kick in after the cycle ends. Otherwise so much of your recent (and excellent) hard work will go to waste as disconnects are a part of life...

I suppose you could just allow the Bastion to keep running (which would help provided it was only a brief interruption).

Cheers

I lost a Paladin 3 days after Rubicon deployment. Root cause disconnect Ugh. 1st request for re-imbursement was denied, but I've kept posting latest findings by other players about bastion-behaviour during disconnect. Finally GMs agreed after a week (and 3 other postings) to re-imburse the loss.

Guess the root cause was posting this thread to the GMs:
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=284795

This behavior was already discovered during test server phase, sadly no dev showed up in this thread.

In my opinion CCP should distinguish between PVE and PVP in terms of bastion behavior during disconnect. This could be done by e.g. the Non-Capsuleer Log-off Timer resp. Capsuleer Log-Off Timer.

What an unexpected yet pleasant surprise to find this morning that my petition for reimbursement for the loss of my Golem during a Bastion Mode disconnect had been granted.

It looks like there has been a shift on policy regarding this since others have posted their petitions were denied. I am, therefore, posting this here to encourage those who were previously denied to try again.
