Died during "matter transfer underway"

I was just in a run where I activated an exfil with less than 10 seconds left before the final exfil appears. I began to stand in this exfil as soon as the circle appeared, about 0:16 before the final exfil launches. After 6 seconds, a bot punched me out of the circle. I then stood back in the circle with 0:09 left. I remained in the circle, and my exfil did launch. I got the message that said "matter transfer underway." But the final match timer ended during my matter transfer, causing me to die and lose lots of good loot.

This occurred because my exfil 'launched' slightly after the match timer ended. If an exfil is activated and has a circle up when the final exfil launches, why not have it launch when the final exfil timer hits 0, instead of requiring a 10 second runoff? In other words, if the 10-second runoff for a normal exfil would end after the final exfil launches, have it launch at the same time as the final exfil instead. This would have saved me a lot of gear that I spent an entire match acquiring.

This felt really bad, because I got to the point where in any other situation I would be safe - the "matter transfer underway" message - only to have it taken away by the match timer.

An alternative solution would be to prevent the final match timer from killing a player if their matter transfer is already underway.

Still another solution would be to prevent the bots from punching you out of the circle if you're standing in it. It is ironic that I would have survived had I let the bots down me before I entered the circle.
