general technical question on serverplay

Yeah, I've started to give serverplay a chance to convince me.

Question:
The NPCs I encounter on multiplay, are they driven by the Client-program on my PC or by the server ?[SIZE=1](That could probably explain their even more erratic piloting than what the NPs on SP perform, when I'm not connected to intenet.)[/SIZE]

I don`t refer to the (nearly) insane swirling and caprioles and playing billiard with themself as the ball in asteroidfields.

That's already what they do in SP.

But in MP they do it in a way, that I think my screen has become kind of a "selectiv stroboskope" for the NPCs

Btw, I have a ping changing between 52 und 58. Is that good or bad ?

Thanks for the info.
