I don't know why everybody thinks this could be exploited. There's no reason the server couldn't add credits as they're earned. It would be no different than adding them at the end of the match, except players wouldn't get screwed as badly if a disconnection happens. There's no need for any of the wacky ideas brought up here. No temporary local file, no server saving progress and compensating upon reconnect, just Player1 +x credits. We have to be connected to EA's servers at all times, but we get one benefit that I can think of from doing so (catching cheaters). And in return we loose credits and consumables all the time? That's just on the wrong side of fair, in my opinion.

it's funny because the time you spend complaining here is the same amount of time you could have gotten into another game and those credits back.

The reason it could be exploited would be from people quitting after they get insta-killed and then rejoin. They wouldn't lose credits or XP and they could be back to help finish the wave rather than the whole team being wiped out by the same Banshee/Phantom.
I personally wouldn't care how many people did exploit that feature if it meant I wouldn't lose all that equipment, consumables and credits from my Xbox freezing during extraction.

This isn't complaining. This is constructive discussion on how to solve an important issue that affects nearly all players.
