Deneb skirmishes reset positions too quickly, causing total immersion breakage. Ship positions should remain intact if I'm still in the mission, regardless of what sector I'm in (i.e. if I die or leave to change ships).

This is has been suggested before(and here and probably other places), and I will always +1 it. But i guess there is some technical issues to overcome. I wonder if the devs can just initiate a server run "player" that is deep spaced. This player instance will keep the sector active a few minutes longer (as long as someone is in the mission) than would normally happen before the sector resets.
