Killed/Destroyed while paused but how?

[Langolier 2.0]

Beacons in the darkness.

Could someone tell me why when playing multiplayer on the RP server how I could be killed when the game is paused using the F1 key with the resume game & other options showing on screen?

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.

The single-player mode is different from multi-player mode dude, So the F1 key does not pause the game on multiplayer mode. Don't mind those who tried to make fun of your newbie experience level. This is not how DiscoveryGC works. We want you to have fun, enjoy your time here and use the forums to ask about any question without feeling embarrassed or shy about it - All of the players on DiscoveryGC played freelancer-multiplayer online for the first time without any experience at all, so please feel welcome

• Do not use F1 in space, because it's not allowed when you got players around you within the scanner range.
  
• Take a fast look at the server rules and server RP laws links shown on my forum signature (at the bottom of my reply).

Have a good time & Welcome to Discovery GC dude
