in freelancer, it'll just kill the game. however, there's gonna be a "ghost" effect in the server we'd all see.. that "time lag" daed is talking about.
That ghost *CAN* be killed and the server will read it as a death. Anyone who's been disconnected or the game crashed on them will have the same effect as an ALT+F4.

No. Ive seen what the program does when you hit ALT+F4 with SoftIce. When you ALT+F4, the game calls a subroutine that saves all player info, and then call Disconnect();(I dont remember the name of the function, but it was something like disconnect???(); ). So when you alt+f4 out, the app disconnects fron the server correctly.
