a few questions

[Ursus]

Couple more questions to ignore...

What happens when players disconnect or bring up the F1 menu? Are they made invulnerable or what? Curious because I was getting a lot of connection drops during NPC combat the other night and never came back to death, so I assume the game makes disco players invulnerable. I also see the server spam about don't press F1 or disco while interacting with other PCs, which seems to confirm this guess. Doing it for disconnects is understandable (wrong choice but understandable) and would make it nice if I could log out wherever I am instead of having to find a space port first, but I would be really surprised if F1 menu makes it happen too.

When I get killed and my cargo goes floating off, how long does it stay around? It almost seems like it is treated the same as spawn--if there are persistent mobiles (such as players or patrol NPCs) then the cargo stays around for a while but if die to generated spawn then the cargo disappears at the same time they do, which is immediately. Or is it just on a really short timer?

FIY for whoever, some of the discovery maps don't show the patrol traffic routes in the nav screen, while some of the others do. Dunno if this is a bug or a design feature. I like to use the patrol routes to find things like bases and jump holes and it sucks when they don't show. Also some of the maps have NPC chat that is copied from some other sector that is completely non-sensical--omicron bartender talking about prisons in the Texas station like they are in the same place.
