Observation

well,there IS less lag than before but more crashes...yesterday,there were 6 ppl in X fighting,ships were jumping only a bit,so pvp was possible

yesterday around 9.45pm (german time) server crashed AND went offline for couple of seconds ... so i suppose it was you OP ... and then the FL Hook didnt work ... and we all had a great battle in X
dunno if Hook is back on now ...

at 1 AM wasn't running yet, and I felt the server a litle less laggy.

Kyron complayned about torps targeting to late.

hope these help's.

I felt it less laggy too. In the big (and totaly meaningless ) fight in X even when using mines, torps, missiles and so on there was almost no lag.

About the torps - I prefer it this way. The fights are getting shorter and shorter and the torps was not meant to be used against fighters but against big and/or slow targets.

And something to add - CDs could not intercept a torp if the torp is not the target.

point 1) i ever was told not to use mines in the big battles - because they lead to more lag. Normaly it´s an agreement not to do it (no Offence and no discussion here about that plz.).

point 2) Only the moskquito is selve targetting - but she defenetly is! Sometimes she isn´t but than even no torp or missile will hit you because of the existing lag.

Point 1) I said even when using mines. It was an experiment and the result was that the mines this time didn't cause more lag (dunno if it was because of the changes OP made to the lag reduction or because of the flhook down, the changes OP was making at the time when the flhook was down or maybe just a random reason).

Point 2) We tried both. Picard fired about 35 torps I fired about 20-25 mosquitos and 10-15 hornets - none was tracking without selecting the ammo.

I hope this will be considered as clarification of my previous statement, not as a discussion .

The only torpedo that have's an enough amount of damage to be called like that is the colition torpedo, after all, a torpedo is suposed to easly get an BS down in 4 or 5 hit's.

I guess that if it wasn't made for ramdom pvp, most of the ship's wouldn't have it, since the suslayer semas to be made most for hit fighter's then BS's.

but I have to agree that it is fair that torps track latter.

My problem with the train is solved! I just had to buy another ship, launch, land, and then I could buy a new train. And now I have the normal train again.

But now my problem is, I bought the Coalition bribe in Sol, but when I did that, the server was undergoing some testing. I think the game only registered the fact that I paid for the bribe, subtracted the amount from my savings, but then that was it. The Coalition hasn't been added to my factions list, let alone made friendly. I just wonder now: if I go to Altair, will I get attacked by the Coalition? Because I can't buy the bribe again...

all factions for ur ship r preset when u first start a new char. not all factions will be on ur rep list untill u encoutner them in space or by npc in a bar or on a mission. the Coalition is friendly to u if u have gotten their bribe.

Yellow lag for me on and off for the 2 hours I played tonight. Also server crashed 3 times. I played from 3am until 5am GMT. About 12 people were playing for the first 1.5 hours. Even when fewer people were on, the lag was the same.

Hope this helps.

ok.now everything works fine.less crashes and less lagg,but about an hour ago,there were 23 ppl online.missiles didn't work at all,even CD's were missing the target...is it possible to fix the missiles ?

I keep getting disconected even when:

Ping statistics for 87.106.22.90:
Packets: Sent = 202, Received = 202, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 48ms, Maximum = 54ms, Average = 50ms

Any idea?

EDIT: The /ping console command shows no loses too.

EDIT2: After the server crashed everything turned back to normal.

Huor I could log in on the moment after I get disconnected, stay in for about 2 minutes (with no lag, loses and perfect ping) and get disconected again. After the server crashed (as I wrote) I had no problems at all. And since a lot of ppl said they have lag problems, missiles and torps don't lock at all and I had no connection problems I guess it was serverside. That's why I reported it .

ur ping of 200 and no loss: others do have that as well and can play - since op is testing services it seems to be a good idea to report such things (as also requested by Op)

and just to say it once more: after u lost connection/log off... PLEASE let the launcher do the updates again!

Just a Observation about Ping rates.....use to play with a high ping rate of 360...after OP's ugrade ping now down to 300/320..with no loss or fluctuation most times.
Any ping rate upto 340 is ok for pvp..340 =360 ok for NCP'S....over 360 best just to trade ..my ping does fluctuate sometimes due to the 8/10 countrys it has to go through to reach the sever ..anyone outside europe might have the same problem with ping and flucuation rates ..its not always the server ..its trying to get to it ..anyway thanks to Op for getting the lagg down .
