'''Combat Logging''' is the act of ''logging off'' or ''exiting'' ~~the game~~ during ship-to-ship combat in a non graceful way. Often times, players will generally terminate a game session when they feel discontent with their current situation in the hopes of restarting in a safer position. Intentionally quitting during a tough situation is fairly common in gaming, though it is widely frowned upon and considered unfair. Many online games take measures to prevent this behavior, such as possible penalties on the player's account or simply setting a delay countdown until the player is actually logged out.

Combat ~~logging~~ is officially a banable action and will have consequences if done a significant amount of times.

~~Statement by Frontier Developements regarding combat logging:~~

== Uses and Effects ==

In Elite Dangerous, combat logging is most often done to avoid death (usually last-minute) during combat. Unfortunately, there is no safeguard to this exploit as of yet other than reporting the combat logger (if the attacker is not an NPC).

== ~~About combat logging in Elite: Dangerous~~ ==

In Elite: Dangerous, combat logging is most often done to avoid death (usually last-minute) during combat. Unfortunately, there is no safeguard to this exploit as of yet other than ~~[[report]]ing~~ the combat logger (if the attacker is not an NPC).

* The most common instance of combat logging is likely when a commander is transporting valuable cargo and confronted by a better-armed [[pirate]].

* Similar acts of logging can also include non-combat situations, such as being scanned when [[smuggling]] without a means of stopping the scan.

* Bounties that were on a wanted pilot ''will'' remain since the target will not be destroyed if they had disconnected in time.
