I don't boot that often, usualy only after a few consecutive com sets, but never BoS.
You, for example, joined, and as you jioned, I cald you by name and given a specific task not so hard to follow. After being in base for a few more you lanched in order to fly in circles, or i don't know what. There were 2 places on map all members on team should have been, you were not in any of them and were in a wrong ship, clearly stating to me you didn't follow my lead, i waited for a few more, miner died, and I DIDN'T BOOT YOU, YOU BOOTED YOURSELF.

Weylin, if you have logs on, take a look at what has been said on the chat, and whether the time was minutes or seconds. If you don't have chat logging on, you should turn it on.

Sounds like we have our answer.

Now I don't know the circumstances here, so I'm not going to comment on the appropriateness of your response. I do, however, want to point out something that you (and other comms) may not be aware of:

Sometimes, when I join a game, my video card puts me in a black screen of death for about 30 seconds. I see absolutely nothing. If you PM me to do something during that time I have NOT seen it and cannot know that you've issued an order. Now if you see me flying around, then issue an order, that's different. I should have seen the order and complied. All I ask is that folks be aware of the potential graphics issue and wait for confirmation that the order was received or proof that it was ignored before you boot me.

I don't recall seeing anything more in chat other than "Attack Constructor!" And "Need Fighters"
So, I got in a fig, and began rip cording.

I was booted mid-ripcord.

I recieved no orders to defend a miner, I hadn't enough time to even figure out what the $#@! was going on.

Also, what FreeBeer said, I have a black screen for a good few seconds, long enough for me to miss something important.

Page up. Stop sucking. Situational awareness fail!

I'm just going to start recording logs from now on :/

Please do! I'm sure we are all very interested in what actually happened.

It is very juvenile for a commander to boot somebody shortly after being accepted.

Unless i'm given direct orders that I have time to read when I join, I'll spend a good 30 seconds or so in F3 checking out the situation. Seeing what sectors need probing, which sectors are losing He3, etc.

If I was booted without the commander telling me to get out of base and get to Tauceti or something of that nature, i'd be pretty pissed and i'd have a right to be.
