Disconnecting upon undocking

[monmarfori]

Since the server crash that happened on December 28, I've seen players getting disconnected upon undocking. The rationale is, in my more than one decade in playing Discovery, I haven't encountered this problem until now, which leads me to consider a more direct approach to this issue.

It seems to be related to the long loading time (not ping-related) since patch 5.0 came out, as @Aingar pointed out already with the "slow hard drive" problem. Most frequently, this occurs on the first undock after booting up my PC. Back then, it wouldn't issue me a disconnect after waiting 30 seconds to 1 minute, but now, the game disconnects me. Other players have even been banned due to this.

So, while I understand Discovery becomes less friendly (performance-wise) for older PCs, at least eliminating this issue would be a great idea. How could a server crash create a persistent disconnect issue?
