That's a really good question. So what we want to do is essentially what we did with the ships, where if somebody logs out, if somebody's around you and still fighting you or whatever, your character persists for a certain amount of time. A lot of MMOs do that.

This is the eternal MMO question right here.

Richard Tyrer · Squadron 42 FPS Game Director

Yeah, so that's what we want to do, that you persist for a certain amount of time, so you can't basically exploit the system to get away. We're looking into that, essentially, to see what we can do in the meantime.

Gotcha. So just like the ships, even if you ninja log, Alt-F4 or whatever, your player character is still there for a period of time.

Richard Tyrer · Squadron 42 FPS Game Director

Yeah, because right now, if you just ninja log, then you can escape. And that's not the intention. And that's people exploiting the system. So we are looking into a way of doing that. Whether it makes 3.15 or not will be dependent on bugs and other factors.
