Select character and this one happens to be in station so the station load sequence starts and momentarily seems fine and then my Mac shuts down. Like you did a hibernation. All my screens and drives go quiet.
I had quite a few kernel panics with the standard EVE client for Mac, so depending on your configuration I am not surprised you have something similar going on. However, I can enter the game fine, but the closer I get to 3 hours playtime the higher the risk of a kernel panic. Can you make anything from the system logs?
The system logs look clean. It does not appear to be a corruption issue but the behavior is identical to doing the Apple->Sleep option. I had seen this before with EVE and typically went away when I started log lite but this time my log lite trick does not work. The last entry in the log lit is “Failed to get a valid ballpark in time after trying 30 times” .
