After a death, the ship finishes sinking before the loading screen opens.
T / Home Passage shows the ship submerging before destination loading.
Regional portal travel shows the ship entering the actual source portal before destination loading.

Version 0.22.1 is verified on Europa and the Steam default branch.

A normal journey keeps the departure scene visible for its animation, then shows the loading screen while the destination is prepared. The ship is already frozen or absent from active source combat during that presentation.

The destination remains inactive until its models, textures and first view are ready. Activation starts the full 15-second Safe arrival protection; an attack attempt ends it immediately. Ordinary reconnects do not restart the timer.

This changes the presentation order. Death-loss rules, portal fees and travel cooldowns remain unchanged.

Bosses remain temporarily paused and the public limit stays at 100. Steam launcher 0.16.7 is unchanged.
