When its my fault I lose a ship because I have such a crappy ISP that the connection goes down and the ship sinks or is boarded before I can get back in, it sucks.
When it happens due to a game lock up so I need to ctrl-alt-del, kill the locked NA application, and restart the game that REALLY sucks.
This didn't seem to happen to me prior to the wipe. The lock-ups I've experienced seem to happen when my connection is bad.
IMO losing a ship lost due to a game lockup (as opposed to a dropped connection) should be redeemable.
