Eve has it's own hosted servers all players connect to that are costly to upkeep which is why it charges per month.  In ED you connect p2p so whether you or the other person/persons in your instance d/c, they are instantly gone.  There is no server to keep you there.  Small amounts of info are sent to the servers every so often for verification such as when you are blown up, but there is no way to force a player's ship to stay in an instance with another player if they d/c.
