Big Cap fights are possible again - it seems - Jack_Henderson - 09-27-2013
Hey!
I know, most of us love to focus on the negative news at the moment.
But: Have you realized? The server did not crash and did not lag really hard when yesterday's Cap forces clashed. I would say... 6 Valors, 3 Cruisers on one side, About the same numbers on the other side. I'd guess up to 15-20 ships in one system.
And... the server pulled through.
So whatever Devs changed... big engagements seem to be possible again.
Thank you for that! Job well done!

That is....not really large.
Considering what happened a few weeks back in Alpha. OCs vs Corsiars, IMG, Order and BHG.
Crashed 3 times.

Well the Alpha brawl was before the mod update

Magellan. 18 GMT. Be there in a cap!

Player bases are a lot less Thus much less lag and crashes.

Even before bases though the server would crash.
But you know, who knows.

I don't think PoBs really caused the lag. They were only responsible when they were under siege by X battleships.
And: Yesterday's Magellan Capfighting made the server stutter and moan, but it pulled through. I cannot say however how many caps there were, but there were quite a few again.

I believe the major "lag-reducing measure" as described by AD was the complete overhaul of cap hitboxes (and some lesser changes to smaller ones) which were actually a significant portion of server load.
