Because of logon traps and various other abuses, the logon and logoff mechanics while on beta islands need some serious work. After a successful logout, an echo (a marker indicating pilot and bot type), should remain visible at the logout location on landmarks and the terrain itself for ten minutes. If the player logs in again within 5 minutes, the echo disappears and they may proceed normally. Nobody should be punished for network flaps or client crashes. But if they remain logged out for more than 5 minutes, they cannot log that character back in again for an hour. A character logging in after having been logged out for an extended period of time cannot target or interact (field containers, specimin saps, etc) for a period of 5 minutes. Also, there should be a 2 minute wait before being allowed to undock from a beta terminal/outpost after having been logged out for an extended period.
