The loadout bug is happening when each time the server doing a "Ready ship"/"Ready player" action, which will happen when transferring from area to area and ready a new ship at ship manager, or switching ship in space.
When "Ready ship"/"Ready player" the server will automatically transfer equipments from previous ship to newly ready ship. This is a function meant to assist player accelerating the process of ship transferring (especially in space).
Apparently, this "equipment transferring" assisting function now is causing more trouble than helping.
I'd suggest disable this assisting function until it is fixed so our currently equipped equipment/trait will not be unloaded -- compare to manually resetting equipment when switching ships, resetting equipment/trait each time when transferring from area to area is much much much more annoying.
/moved, since this isn't an actual Bug Report, but actually feedback on how to deal with a certain game mechanic.

There is already a checkbox or switch to disable the autotransfer when you ready a ship, it does not seem to help with the gear-flush-to-inventory problem in either state.
I have a nagging suspicion that gear/trait unseat problem and the dump-to-login-page on map transfer are related, possibly a database lookup timeout issue.
