I mostly face warping opponents in Connecticut, and those are rare. Anyway, I doubt that it'd be hard to escape a lagging opponent, considering the fact that he won't be able to do much against an evading target.
In my opinion, there are more disadvantages than actual advantages of lag-kicking.
P.S.: haven't got kicked so far since I haven't logged any of my characters recently, but a lot of my friends are faced with that problem.
So if you don't want to fight them, why are you complaining about them being hard to shoot at? You are not forced to fight. Flee, hug battleship, trick and successfuly use a Trade Lane.

Let me get this straight. You have a situation that is totally not under the control of our admins that causes you problems and you want them to fix it.
Even though you personally have already stated that it's probably YOUR crappy internet service, and the minor detail that YOUR router and/or switch and/or wireless connection can't handle multiple connections properly that causes the FLHook software to kick you...
Think about that for a second, and then realize why I'm sounding so damned harsh.

Well, generally thats right, but I already knew that. I never wrote "you have to fix that", I wrote "If I still get kicked every time I try to play, I am not able to play anymore", which is totally right.
If everyone else in this Thread would have told me "For me everything is ok" I would just stop playing Freelancer. But as several players seems to have problems with the new limitation, I don't think your argument is durable.
I have no right to force anyone to change anything, I just wanted to state out that i'm not able to play anymore. If the Admins think, the new limitation is worth loosing players, then I can't do anything against it.

I am also sick of it. 50 % of the times when someone got drained he get insane lag, most of the time done on purpose to avoid being hit, so I support this solution, I asked for it around 1 year ago too and the community frowned upon me because I am the bad guy with the good internet, and they somehow have bad connections and somehow it shows up only when they are targeted in group fight or start to loose in PvP.

But it doesn't change anything, as he gets kicked without standard F1 message. You still did not killed him and he can freely login again. I really don't get it why that solution can help anyone. If he Lags and flees, or just gets disconnected, it doesn't really matter in my opinion.
But the amount of unreasonable disconnects due to the change does matter. In my opinion kicking everyone with temporary lag to get maybe 1 reasonable disconnect out of 20 disconnects is not worth it.
