With the recent disconnects i have lost some ships and felt like there should be a sorta net. Like you disconnect/ the cluster shutdowns. Your ship will dock to the nearest station so your ship doesn’t just sit there and die it has a chance to get back. To prevent exploit it might just sit there for a minute before doing that for balancing. Would also help people with less table internet and might draw in players that just got burned by that to much? Just throwing this idea out there needs refinement.
“e-warp” or “emergency warp” has been around forever, you warp 1M km in a random direction when you DC, unless you’re scrammed. the ship leaves space 1 minute later unless someone scans it down and shoots it

This indeed is already a thing. For client disconnects at least. The ship (if the setting is enabled it’s ON by default) will warp to a point in the system and will sit there for X amount of minutes if you have been fighting capsuleers or NPCs given that your ship is able to warp. People have actually gotten killed because of this so the system is working.
As for cluster shutdowns they are uh… uncommon and DT is always at 11:00 EVE time. Can’t do much about that sadly and CCP is generous if a cluster shutdown unexpectedly happens, and you die.
Hope this helps!

Is that the unchecked box for emergency warp? It says disable emergency warp i assume it’s that and should be off to work. never noticed it but a other feature would be nice but it’s also king my fault pilot error. My internet disconnected in the abyss but the cache got destroyed around that time so i double clicked to move in space, then disconnected and went out of bounds before i could get back…
If it’s working, you will log back in at a pocket of empty space. Assuming you aren’t warp scrammed etc.
Yah for abyss it is indeed an occupational risk. I risk my 2bil gila every time I go. Only in EVE where disconnects will kill more than the NPCs 
CCP won’t do anything about that in relation to the abyss as people will exploit that.
Literally, all I can say is that setting works. It will warp you to an empty space pocket. Would recommend getting a stable connection. Good luck in your future abyss runs!
What disconnects are you talking about? If you are referring to the server crashes your solution wont work
