What, if anything, can CIG do about combat logging?
TL;DRThere are plans for a logout timer after recent combat, similar to other games, with the length still to be tuned, and Todd Papy says it is on their minds and will be fixed soon.
Combat logging? I'm assuming that they're talking about logging out?
Yes. Let me tell you. I have chosen to spend my night going out there and putting the hurt on fellow humans of the Stanton system. I am a pro pilot in a pro ship that's pro kitted out, and I am putting my talent and skill to the test against people, and right before they're about to die, right before they're about to explode, right before I'm about to achieve my victory, they log out.
Yeah, I guess for me it's logging out, because logging in development terms means that we're actually tracking something. So for logging out, there are plans for it, very similar to other games that have done it in the past, where if you've been in combat within, let's say, the past five minutes or anything like that, then you've got another five minutes before you can log out safely, or 15 minutes. We need to be able to sit down and tune that. But yeah, we're very aware of it. We want it worked on soon. It's something that CR has called out, something I've called out, player relations, Tony, so on and so forth. So it is in the back of our minds. We are thinking about it, and it will be fixed soon.
