== 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).

* 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.
