I've lost about 30 Energy now due to the game randomly crashing mid-mission.
To prevent exploits the revive should give you as much health as you had when you started to DC.
Dying while DCed should give you a free revive.

That'd be the computer that's run SK flawlessly in all the years I've played it up until the recent patches?

Zaffy is Laffy
If your computer has run so flawlessly, I don't see how it can randomly crash. The only new thing they added (for missions) is the winterfest mission. Are you saying you are crashing in that mission or any other mission?

At the most, you should have
At the most, you should have a reduction in taken damage by about 80% while disconnected. That way we're not getting free anything, and there's not much benefit to a disconnect.

@Zaffy
2 of the 3 crashes were in the Winterfest mission (the 3rd was in "The Silent Legion") and on 2 other separate occasions while playing the Winterfest mission I've seen players whose connections seemed perfectly fine suddenly DC as if their game crashed, which is either an odd coincidence or means I'm not the only person with this problem.

Well, it's not beyond well-built computers to randomly start failing. My brother's computer just up and died every time I tried to log it on the FIRST time, then it'd run sweet after the reboot.
Every day. It seemed to stop after a while. Then again a few months later. Hasn't happened in a while, although recently it's been refusing outright to boot a few times...
However, I recommend maybe trying a re-install. If that doesn't help, send a bug report and OOO can try and fix whatever the issue may be, if it's a program error that reacts badly with some computers.
As for the suggestion itself, I'm neatral to it. It would be, however, hard to define how much HP the player will get, considering there is always some time until the server 'concludes' the player is d/c, so defining a time for your HP reset to be based on would be hard, considering you're most likely already dead by the time the server registers you as d/c.

Besides current revive blasts deal damage, knockback and stun.
Or maybe you know you're gonna die (broken shield, swarm of mosnetrs in an arena)
You'd have to be desperate to abuse it but who knows....
Crashing? That is your computer's fault.
Disconnection from server, if it is your own setup's fault, too bad. But we have been getting recent complaints about lag spikes...
