Hey! What's up!
Here, in Discovery Multiplayer, you can expect several things to happen if you F1, or loose your internet connection and et cetera.
Having F1 menu open while flying / Being static while having the Menu open.
If you were in singleplayer, having that menu open while in-game will pause the game. However, in multiplayer the situation is opposite. You'll keep on flying with the menu open.
In case you're AFK, with your menu open. Many things can happen. If you're in a dangerous system with powerful NPCs, you can get killed. Sometimes, players may come in, and -kill you-, for many reasons...
Disconnecting in space.
In case you disconnect in multiplayer (in discovery), while in the space, situation is interesting. If you don't relog your character in the following several hours or longer, depending upon duration of your absence, your ship will -float in space-. Once you relog, you'll be in a different location, sometimes even 200k far away from the original point.
3.2 Disconnecting in space to avoid interaction. If accidental, post here as soon as possible
This is a rule from https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=2334, because -we have specific rules- here. In this case, people can report you for avoiding an interaction by disconnecting. To avoid this scenarion, just don't intentionally disconnect from the server. If it's was accidental, in case your game has crashed and et cetera, you'll need to post here https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=42531
This rule exists only on this server (possibly others), not on singelplayer of course.
Multiplayer in general won't pause your game. Hope this was helpful for you. Have fun.
