I might be wrong with what I am about to say but anyway.
Ok lately there has been a few issues with the server right?
Well how does anyone really know if some has pressed F1 or if they have just been disconnected? To say you know by whether they log back in and apologise isn't right because why should someone apologise because they were disconnected?
Tonight I have personally been disconnected at least once every 5 or so minutes and unless the log files actually say whether someone logged out or was disconnected due to lost carrier or unresponsive client how can anyone safely say that someone has used F1 to avoid anything?
Yes there are some people that use this tactic a lot but I really personally can not understand why anyone would care if their ship was destroyed especially when they get it back when they respawn. (Yeah it is short the bots, and batteries, and ammo<?>) They aren't really that expensive unless you are using cap ships though.
This topic is a hard one as it is really hard to prove whether someone has used F1, and to tell you the truth it is really unfair to sanction someone that has not used this because it isn't like getting 50 million credits only takes a few hours (well maybe if you have no life u can earn 50 million in one day but most people have lives outside of playing online games)
Anyway I am not sure what the admins use to check whether someone has used F1 or not so I guess it is very possible that there is a way of knowing if someone is using the F1 tactic
