piloted ships vanish when mobile crashes

Twice today I have had a ship disappear from my inventory when VO crashed on my phone. Upon logging back in to the game, I found myself at a station with no active ship. Both occurrences happened when the game locked up while I was trying to sort out plugins.

If the client crashes, your ship is kept active in game for a period of time in case the connection resumes. Your ship can be destroyed during this time by (N)PCs.

I logged back on immediately and was in back at a station both times. I was at a wormhole or station sector each time. My first thought was someone had shot me. I also checked my kill / death ratio and I still had no deaths recorded after each instance. I am currently at 23 kills to 1 death (courtesy of Captain Blood)

Edit: I really know how to blow a super secret mobile account that was sure to fool everyone. /me = dumbass

If you give us an approximate time, we can look into it to see what happened.

Hi Ray,

My best guess at this point would be the second instance was shortly before the op. If no one else has complained about this in all this time, I wouldn't make this a priority for you guys.

I spent some time again this evening playing with the plugins that were giving me trouble on my phone while sitting in an empty sector. The two plugins were droidbuttons because of the really tiny text on my phone and my particularly old eyes and toaster crush. By saying VO crashed, I was probably being very inaccurate. The experience was more like freezing up, which during my messing around today, I figured out was due to the plugin in the case of droidbuttons losing focus or a popup screen every time I entered game or changed sector with tcs. Hitting the back button on my phone actually cleared this up for me.

However, before I figured that out, I closed VO like I had in the two instances yesterday and restarted. Each restart today had me sitting right where I had logged off in my ship. The only difference that I am aware of between yesterday and today was that today I was in an empty sector.

Again, if no one else has reported this problem I wouldn't spend too much time on it.

Thanks for the update. We haven't had any other reports of your issue.
And I did a quick look at the server logs and didn't see you getting killed or otherwise getting sent to a station. Was it your home station or the most recent station you visited?

It was my home station. I was just starting out the character so hadn't progressed very far with it.
