Bug, Or working as intended?

Last night we discovered a Drake and Orca in the wormhole we were in. A couple of our guys uncovered the Orca, and proceeded to pound the snot out of it. After a short bit, with it pointed and targeted twice, it flat out vanished in front of them. The Orca did not warp away, it simply vanished.

They waited for him all night to log back in, and finally this morning they were able to get ahold of him and kill him. No warp stabs in the orca, so that can not explain the issue.

Is this working as intended? Are log out exploits exceptable?

The guy simply logged off before you managed to aggro him, which is why he vanished while you were shooting him.

Ahh, ok so if we engage prior to the log off, then no getting away with that?

Yep, they'll get a 15 minutes aggro timer, so even if the guy logs off, he'll either warp out and stay in space 15 minutes if he isn't pointed, or stay on the grid and die if he is pointed/bubbled.

Thank you.
