This has been asked for for years. CCP believes that the box killing you is better than DT killing you... or some bull thing like that.

There is no reason why this message cannot be done in one of the following ways:
- Same box, same message, just don't lock my controls out.
- Flashy red message in every chat channel you're in.
- Opt out message, like all the other warnings in the game.
- Only show the message on session change.

All of these would be acceptable, although the last one would cause annoyance with having to click the box every time you warped to a new gate. The warning is fine, I have no issue with it being there, the issue is that it completely locks me out of controlling my ship.

It has killed people in the past, it almost killed me tonight, and there is no reason for it to do that.

This needs to change. Death to modal windows.

Well.. I can sort of accept modal windows if it is a chat invite from a GM or something important like that but for anything less? Just NO!

bump because I just made another topic about this without seeing this one first (I'm not much of a forum user and only came on here because this has annoyed me for so long and I wanted to give my voice in favor of changing this)

Another ship got away from me tonight because of this and I said bad things directed towards CCP. Please consider making the message less intrusive. Whichever Dev fixes this will be a community hero. I play at DT almost every night and get really tired of having to push OK on three accounts multiple times a night, interrupting my pillaging and plundering.

Lost my pod because of the downtime message locked my overview. This should be fixed.
