WTH are you talking about? There is no time most of the time - the MTU pulls the loot and the drones salvage it while I work on the l2 rats which doesn’t take long. why wouldn’t I pick up the loot after I’m done? Even if I have to wait a minute or two to make an extra 5-10 mill from the loot/salvage why wouldn’t I wait when multiplying this by 60 or 30 respectively proves an extra 150-300 mil/h on top of the mission bounty rewards, I don’t care where you go to farm these items, they drop in l2 why wouldn’t I pick them when it takes zero effort and no time wasted? And you are talking to me about time efficiency!
If only there was a small claims court where businesses who’ve done the wrong thing can be held to account…

Yeah I’m far too busy to argue the bit out with an “I am always right and everything anyone else says is wrong and I have an objection to everything and refuse to ever consider the possibility that I might be wrong” type person.
I just can’t be arsed.
Have fun and stay flying or whatever.
And why did they take away C&P Court?
Someone told me though I had since forgotten.
/also @Kortanil share screenshot of your loss please.
I do not recall that I am afraid.
Not I but just read the dev blog about that
Microsoft was not blamed. 
It doesn’t do that.
Ok, but then:
If your goal is standing, why would you waste time on crappy lvl 2 loot. Also, it’s nigh impossible for a Proteus to get killed in a lvl 2, even in that one and even if you got kicked (which I don’t believe you did). Assuming the fit made any sense.
Everything about this smells like it didn’t actually happen as you say it did, just because none of what you seem to do makes sense so I doubt what you say is any better. I bet you simply went afk or tabbed to another account as you warped into the mission, and forgot to enable your tank. And now you’re lying and scheming to get your ship back.
That is what I saw on the launcher’s button that usually says “Play game” or “Client is running”, which is the same text I get when the launcher installs updates!
Because it takes few seconds to pick it ALL up from the MTU once I’m done with the rats, as I have explained that already, and I was doing The blockade which drops a lot of loot, so don’t be selective when you read! If you see a $20 bill on the ground wouldn’t you bend to pick it up or are you going to keep walking because you are getting late for work and it’s $20 thus not worth your time because you make $50/h?
You can bet all you want but you are going to lose your money! Why would I afk if I’m trying to clear the room as quickly as possible? Have you ever done “The Blockade”? I BET NOT, or you would have know that the rats keep coming in waves of increasing strength and don’t stop until done, you can’t afk in that mission.
The launcher doesn’t update if a client is running so it can’t cause the problem, it might update after the client closed but that’s a different story and is most certainly not a cause of your “issue”.
Thing is that game updates only happen during down time or other full server outages and since we’ve had none of those it’s safe to assume it was around down time. That OR it’s all bogus and you made this up.
If your MTU can keep up with you doing lvl 2 Blockade in a T3 then you’re doing something terribly wrong, which was already established. OR you were playing AFK.
They have triggers, so if you’re not fully stupid (or afk) you can avoid that problem real easy. And even if you didn’t then with a decent tank a Proteus can tank it just fine but that assumes you running the tank and having a decent fit, which might be an optimistic assumption.
Also, they don’t just suddenly all swarm you as they are at range even if you did F up the triggers. So you have to wait for quite a while for all those npc being able to overwhelm a Proteus.
You were AFK.

All your forums are belong to us.
Because obviously you haven’t done the mission or it was long ago so you don’t remember I’ll explain. The waves spawn in pairs/triples and almost at the opposite ends of each others so regardless of which group you choose to fly to they are still flying towards you and the “fly in” spot and thus towards the MTU. After the first triggers are killed the second wave of ships spawns with the first wave of groups being closer to you and the MTU, once I was done with the second wave triggers I went to the MTU at this point some of the ships from the first wave were within shooting range and this is when the freeze happened! You can’t do this, if you are AFK also if I didn’t run my repper and adaptive resistance how come the ship took 56k damage?
No I’ve done it quite a few times, I just don’t do it in a moronic way. You fly about with blasters killing the triggers, to then return to your MTU, WAIT for the npc to arrive to then shoot them. That’s not just special, that wastes a ton of time. You do you I guess.
Not buying the “no see it just magically happened at that exact most inopportune time and the launcher updated at that same point”.
It’s not a TON of time when you fly with a microwarp drive and the rats are small ships that also fly fast, the whole set up takes few minutes. If I am to sit and wait for them to fly in then that would make it “ton of time”.
Also I see that you are no longer questioning the “installing updates” parts, you are now arguing that it didn’t happened at the same time with the freeze. You also gave up on the AFK part, now it’s “you are wasting your time flying back and forth”, the fit is no longer that bad only the use of blasters is the problem. Overall If you had taken all I wrote as is rather than putting your little assumptions in the way you would have saved yourself “ton of time”.

It is if you compare it to using long ranged weapons where you don’t have to clownboat all the way into blaster range. Just kill everything from where you are and then bugger off.
The launcher doesn’t update if a client is running, it’s that simple and there is nothing to discus. I didn’t pursue it because it’s simply a fact and since you yap a lot silliness I’m not even going to bother. see this:
What can happen is that after client closes it might update but that relies on a few things. First of all there needs to be an update happening after the last time you logged in, and this only happens if there was a down time in between.
That’s funny because I ended with this:
And this:
If you take your car to a “Stealership” for an oil change…you are an idiot and deserve to have your money taken from you.
How have you not backed down yet? Ludicrous!
I got everything back, the items that are normally destroyed, including all the subsystems, were on the ship which was docked at the station of the agent, those that were intact and part of the wreck were inside the MTU
Thank you, CCP, for your excellent customer service!
I did that just in case although I didn’t expect much to be fair, But CCP proved my and others negativity wrong, and that’s a very good sing!
Rewards for failure are a feature of this timeline.
Guess I’m petitioning for my 5 titans back then!
