Missions and server lag - banyan - 01-08-2007
Hi All,
I'm new to this server, been playing for a week or so.
While reading some posts this afternoon, I came accross one regarding bounties and was puzzled to find bounties on players doing missions because it causes server lag. Further down that thread an admin rejected the bounties arguing it was not right to shoot players doing missions mostly because 1- it is not forbidden to take missions, 2- it is not widely known that missions cause server lag.
This begs a few questions:
1- Is the problem of missions causing lag a general server issue, or is it specific to Discovery? Haven't come across anything similar in other server I've played on.
2- After further research on the topic, I read that it is a problem that was being worked on, but I'm not sure about the current status. Still a problem? Fixed?
3- So assuming missions are a problem, shouldn't it be made known more widely?
4- How else do you develop a char from ground up? Trading exclusively? Ain't that boring?
Thanks a lot for your replies.

so many questions...
1 - lag: solved
2 - lag: fixed
3 - lag: none
4 - it'll take you a bit longer to equip the expensive stuff if you don't go trading... no problem in doing it the old-fashioned way

Wow... I really admire your understatement Night:)...but to be completely true we should say that it'll take a LOT longer to equip if you don't go trading. Nevertheless it's true that at the very beginning it's more worth to take missions than trading and thus I could see Bayan point if the lag would still exists. Luckyly the lag has gone... thanks admins.:)

Actually, I read somewhere that the mission lag is due to the tradelanes somehow.
So in a system without tradelanes, there should be no lag caused by missions.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?(even though the lag is not really a problem anymore)

Well, when you mention it... I know for sure that Omicron Minor and Omicron Alpha missions were causing little to no lag...

Trading is really the best way to make money quickly. If you don't want to put in the work, beg for money from ppl. That'll make them happy.:)Trading is really necessary for expensive stuff, unless you have a lot of time on your hands for missions...

...although... I did take a few missions from Prison Station Faribanks in Alaska...
Got to see some good old fashioned gazelling and a few flashes of yellow...may not be related though.

Oh, yeah.
A number of times this weekend, missions took forever due to rampant gazelle behavior. No real yellow or red flags flying, but definite jumpin'.

maybe now that missions don't cause lag the rewards could be bumped up so that there is some way other than trading to earn some good cash? considering that the higher level missions are much harder than any trade run, plus they screw with your reputation, it seems unfair that the only way to really earn money is by trading
