Yes of course. Otherwise people would just pull the plug when their perk plane is in danger.

Its tough on the people that disco, but there is no way to see the diffrence between a bad luck disconnect and a pull plug.

Install spyware now when the net reconnects seconds later, you know they pulled it, or secretly install a camera in their moniter

Not only do you lose the perkies, but the disco counts as 0.5 of a death.

And there is a way to tell if it was deliberate or not; Monitor the amount of screaming the player does on vox when s/he reconnects.

isn't a disco the same as a ditch, in that you lose half the perks?

nope, you lose current perk value of that plane as far as I know...

now a Arena reset while in the air w/ your perk ride does not lose your perks (FYI)

guess they changed it... fairly certain you used to lose half for a disco. 'course, it's been quite a while since I've paid any attention to perks. can't run out if even if I try.

You may be confusing with losing half the perks you earned during the flight if you ditch.  Land successfully, get full perks.  Death, you keep only 25% of perks IIRC.

But no, crash your plane, lose the perks for that plane (if any) offset by any perks you have earned (times appropriate multiplier, of course).

:huh  Did that make sense?

Yes you do.

I have many a time been brought to tears when I saw my perks get lost with a disco.

My wife busts out laughing and calls me a fuggin geek..

..but I live for perks. If there wasn't perks, I wouldn't play.
