Interesting. If you are doing a "timed mission" and your connection is
terminated by the server and you log back in later, your mission is still
active, and the mission clock was running the entire time you were off-line.

Sounds more like a feature than a bug. *YAY!!!* I'm just glad that you don't lose the mission if you disconect now. I do wish that I had known about this new feature before I made the mistake of selling the cargo after getting booted by the server during a Load Screen lock whilst under the (mistaken) assumption that the mission aborted as it always had. I only realized that the mission was still running when I was going to take another mission and aborted the current mission before it registered what I had done.

Silly me.

just think about combat missions: You could theoretically kill 100s of thousands of bots in a row. Neato.

/me likes.

Ok. Yes, if you get disconnected from the server, you keep your mission. This should not have changed. However, you SHOULD lose your mission if you log off, or unplug your internet connection, or kill your client.

That's how it's been for a while. Has it changed with the latest update?

/logoff does not seem to cause an imediate loss of mission. I was forced to use /logoff repeatedly last night and did not lose the mission. If I close the client out, then I do lose the mission.
