- There is no really any “perfect” DDoS solution. Otherwise giant corporations wouldnt spend hundreds of millions of USD per year trying to mitigate effect of such attacks.
- There is no way for server to know whether DDoS attack is happening or not. Freezing time in abyss for every disconnected player in not really feasible (too much stuff to "freeze/save) and most likely to be abused by players.
- If you know that there are connectivity issues… why the hell are did you continue to go into abyss and lose more ships? Just to annoy customer service and make players with legitimate problems wait longer?
