Admin Notice: Anti-F1 changes

[Baltar]

Is there a way to monitor whether or not someone disconnects through f1 or timing out?

What about when people drop connection because the problem is server-side, or a DOS attack or whatever happens and a lot of players are "departed" in space, are they effected?

EDIT: Idea! apply the cargo drop within 5km of wrecks, get rid of the damn campers!

Whole-heartedly agree. Its those who F1 that need to lose their cargo. Those who lose connection due to the weather taking out their power or connection shouldn't lose anything.

Yes, the F1 cargo drop has been disabled for the last three days, i.e. no cargo is dropped if you disconnect by either lagging out or F1.

Cannon ... absolutely think this tool is a great idea to deter folk from F1'ing out. Hope you guys can figure out how to distinguish between an F1 and lagout. If you do, might wanna make a couple notices when they disappear ... 1) "Player X has experienced a temporal distortion." for those who lost connection unintentionally ... and 2) "Player X lost all hull integrity ... all that remains of his ship is scrap metal and cargo." for those who F1 out.
