Hi Friends.

As of recently (likely the newest patch), relogging at a ground CZ will move you to the nearest (or last) station you were at prior to going to the CZ.

That is, if you take a Frontline Shuttle down to a ground CZ, and try to relog to restart the battle, you will be taken to a station instead. This also applies to using your own ship and landing near the CZ to participate in it.

A friend made a ticket with support to see if this was an issue, and here is their response:

Hey there [redacted],

Thanks for getting in touch with us.

Elite Dangerous isn't really designed with relogging in mind, and we don't want to encourage CMDR's to exit and enter back into the game if they don't have to. We haven't made any specific changes to stop you being able to relog into ground conflict zones, however, we did make some general changes to on foot conflict zones that might have had this effect.

However, if relogging now teleports you back to a station when it previously would reload another CZ, this isn't something that we'll likely reverse.

I hope this clarifies things for you! Please let us know if you have any other queries.

Kind regards,

I'd like to remind Frontier that relogging is a core mechanic of elite dangerous in the following areas of gameplay:

• Flipping Mission Boards (somewhat fixed)
• Resetting instances in space for scenarios or events.
• Resetting instances for material farming (Dav's Hope, HGE Relogging, Data logging)
• Resetting instances for bounty hunting (Haz Rez reloading)
• Literally relogging just because some instances get stuck or broken.

Without relogging, this game would not be suitable for pick up and play for most people. Can we please revert this? Frontier don’t want people to relog, but they also don’t want to fix the reasons people choose to relog instead of just playing the game.

Cheers,

Arburich
