Attempt to reconnect to the server if you have been disconnected

I don't know if this was already suggested, but, if you get disconnected from the server, and the message keeps displaying, DMP should try to reconnect you to the server.

commented

Sounds nice, but I guess that would require the players "offline session" to start it's own subspace, which might or might not be synchronizeable with the server (somebody could change the vessel while you were offline)

commented

Discarding is fine if you disc for just some seconds... if you don't realize you have been disconnected, you might waste quite some effort on a dead timebranch. Which, of course, I did several times.

commented

Maybe other clients would behave normally, and if you reconnect within 10 seconds, it sends your subspace to the other clients like a normal sync. You'd be desynced, but otherwise you would have no other issues (hopefully)

commented

Or just have the client resync to the server, disarding any changes made while offline.

This isn't trivial, I don't think we can handle this safely.
