Ships & Modules

the TL/DR This guy is pissed because he DC'd in a site while he was in Bastien mode and is upset that him DCing didn't save his ship. He wants CCP to fix this so when a carrier or super per say gets tackled all they do is disappear in space like they used to vs aggro timers and what not...

So...let me ask you...Where did the rats touch you after you dc'd?

This is where model ships are very important. It's a lot less traumatizing to point out the bad place than to talk about it. Sansha have done some unspeakable acts to me. They took a part of me that I'll never get back.

I've gotten a random DC now and then but I was able to get back on within 30 seconds so no danger to my tank

I was on when the server crashed recently flying a CNR in missions. I don't know if it was a complete server crash but everyone in my corp DC'd so it was either the server or the systems nearby. By the time I was able to get back on and warp away I was half into hull. My ship didn't warp off, hardeners and shield booster turned off. I didn't lose the ship but it was close. Of course this was not bastion because it was a CNR.

Ude, just shut up! Its not the person internet connection. Some people here have disconnection while at work in an ISP company! Fact is the connectivity from the rest to the world to london is NOT the same everywhere!

Even with 2 Gbps connections on a dedicated link You do get disconnectiosn to eve servers a few times per year!


Work is not only your ugly backyard !

I thought eve was played by smart people. but you are committed to prove its not.
That... or you are trolling Glyphe.
CCP is a company and if fixing this issue will get them more money, they should and they will.
Stop talking on behalf of CCP as if you are a GM or the Ceo of the company. You are just another 14euro per month.
Now that said.
The CCP apologists so far have said.

"Don't fly what you can't afford to lose also applies to DCs Lol"

I don't know anyone who can casually lose 1.5 bill battleships on DCs I m sure they are out there. But i m also sure if they can casually lose 1.5 bill ships they will most likely fly 4.5 billion Battleships.

"Havent DC'd in atleast a year"

Again not everyone lives in wonderland of perfect internet connection. And most of the people playing eve, live on the other side of the fence. So DCs are common. And guess what... they pay the same 14 euro you pay for the game.

"it's simple really, rather than asking CCP to change the mechanics, run a cap-stable tank or don't use Bastion if you experience frequent DCs."

Yea not using the thing that makes Marauders special, or one of the main features of the latest expansion for mission runners, is a poor excuse.

"This guy is pissed because he DC'd in a site while he was in Bastien mode and is upset that him DCing didn't save his ship. He wants CCP to fix this so when a carrier or super per say gets tackled all they do is disappear in space like they used to vs aggro timers and what not..."

PVP is another thing entirely you cant really compare it with mission running. To stupid to actually answer...
A mission Runner is Fighting like 80% of the time and his ship can blow up in a minute if left unattended.
In pvp you are in danger like 5% of the time. And i don't think supercarriers and carriers can die by the time you log back.
If they do. You were already dead to begin with.
How can you compare random PVP disconnects with pve..

And for those that think that people use Simulated Disconnect to save their ship. Pulling the modem plug and such..
The last ship i lost in a level 4 mission was back in 2008 i started eve around that time. Only a few missions have warp scramble, and you can kill those ships at the start of the fight.
I don't think people Fly around in marauders that have no clue on how to do L4 missions.

Change it so the module keeps on working after a DC
Or change the speed penalty to 99.99% for the bastion module only.
Or made scramblers work on the Bastion normally and have the ship warp away on DC as all other ships.
If you have bastion and you get scrambled. you aren't leaving.... immune or not.
Possibly if you aren't engaged in pvp you emergency warp. Regardless of bastion.
Alternatively you can come off with an answer yourself. After all.. you are getting paid to do this. i m not. i m here to play the game.

When I loose conneciton to game, while can reach and use any other place in internet but eve keeps rejecting ANYONE from south america as they periodically do .. how in hell is that MY fault? BTw, last DDOS attack CCP did not return the ship that I lost with my alt, basically the support resposne was suck it. SO NO you cannot petition it


And that is NOT a part of the game. PVP is, the bastion mode side effect of zeroing your speed is an error.

Without a bastion mode you would survive, with a bastion mode you will not that is th eproblem. No one is asking for any miraculous savior, peope lare askign the system to continue working as it was.

When Tranquility stop acceptign conenctions from south america it usually does for long periods.

Disconnecting is very frequently your own fault. People are often desperate to avoid being accountable for anything so this is another problem commonly projected onto anything else you can find to blame it on.

As several people have already said I haven't disconnected in years barring power failures/extremely rare server crashes. This stems from the fact that PC gaming is my hobby and thus I don't cheap out on my hardware and get and ISP connection better than that of your average peasant. I also spend a good deal of time ensuring my set up is done correctly and replace any parts that are not working correctly. Since disconnecting is a problem that is almost 100% fixable on your end why are you asking the rest of us to accommodate your poor connection?

I've seen this in other online games as well, people assume it is the fault of the server they are playing on rather than admitting it may be their own set up causing the issues and I say the same thing to them: If YOU are disconnecting frequently and the rest of us have no issues staying connected all day short of lightning striking our houses then it has nothing to do with the server, it's either your ISP or YOU that is the problem. An ISP that frequently drops the service of its customers will probably not stay in business for very long and therefore the most likely explanation is that it is something about your set up that causes you to disconnect.

move to civilized country with proper internet :)
