Dear CCP,

As you are on a kick to fix all kinds of small things, and this is making Eve super awesome, could you please fix the login failure that occurs if you've idled too long at the login screen?

Steps to reproduce:

1) Run Eve. Idle at login screen for indeterminate amount of time (perhaps 1+ minutes?)
2) Attempt to login.
3) Wait an excessively long time to finally have an error message pop up saying that login failed - "The socket was closed"
4) Attempt to login again to have everything go through immediately.

I don't know your internals, but I can understand closing idle login sessions so they don't consume resources on your end for no reason. However, it would seem to me that clicking the "Connect" button should ensure that socket is open and if it isn't, re-establish the session rather than just tossing up an error screen.

Thanks for listening!
