Auto-Hover when pilot Times Out/Dc's please.

[Gashed 16]

My aussie friend is our pilot.

He timed out.

We all died.

The end.

Gripping tale, old chap.

Such a twist ending!

Would be a good stop gap against that kind of thing, though.

If a pilot passes out then the chopper isn't going to stay airborne. Think of it that way :P

Edit: Though I do agree, it is kinda annoying.

Roleplay it! You put someone who's prone to seizures in your pilot seat.

No way to swap seats in mid air I take it? (never tried one myself)

"Yeah, Kent is narcoleptic, but he was a CareFlight pilot for 20 years prior to the outbreak. We keep a bottle of No-Doze handy for the longer trips. Oy, Kent, you take a pill before we lifted off?"

"Whassat!?"

"DID YOU TAKE A PILL BEFORE WE LIFTED OFF?"

"Ah, 'course mate. Here, you need one?"

"Nah, I... well, yeah. Why not."

...

"Kent, these are antibiotics. Are you fuckin' with me!?"

"..."

I wasn't present but in standard games, if a player disconnects in an unexpected manner, as opposed to using an in-game exit button, a server will wait about 30 seconds to re-establish a ping before declaring a player out. Therefore the pilot seat would still be occupied for that whole duration. Of course there arn't many games out there where you can take a players chair without their permission. That would be a disasterous design flaw in normal play.
