EVE General Discussion

Ok, first, yes, I'm whining just a little bit, and yes, I probably know the answer this question already, but I'm going ask anyway.

So I'm happily zipping through low-sec in my Prowler last night collecting my PI stuff when my computer just shuts itself off. No warning, no blue screen, no nothing, just bang. Wouldn't restart with out doing some windows diagnostic thingy that took over 20 minutes. So of course, when I finally do get back to the game, I'm all exploded and podded and butthurt and feeling sorry for my self and well, just raging at the complete unfairness of it all, life, space, gaming, my receeding hairline... but I digress.

So the ship and pod are gone due to a hardware issue at my end. I'm guessing its on me to just eat the loss, but was wondering if I filed a petition would CCP grant me little mercy? I believe they only reimburse if the loss was caused by their server, but hopefully I'm wrong?

(and yes, I can replace the loss, I don't need THAT lecture! )

I feel like we're not being told something here......If you were manually flying, when your PC failed, your ship would emergency warp and log out.

Now I never use autopilot, but I presume even if you were on autopilot, at the time connection is lost, the ship should warp to emergency and dissapear, same as manual flying.

So the question I'd ask is "why did your ship sit around, where it could be easily seen/shot at" after you disconnected?

Something is missing from the story here.

I often have to swallow the red mist when Wifey n Kid's are about, have offered, many a time, to move the tv into the front room for them, but no..., selfish gits insist on it being left in the living room near my pc.

your pod did an e-warp after the ship was lost, he had to scan it down to kill it. Scanning pods is hard.


my guess is you landed at 0 and decloaked about the time the server registered you were gone, this gave yoru attackers time to tackle and kill you. Thus flagging you for 15 min.
