Part of the lag problem *HAS* to do with the train. we kinda figured this out cause anytime someone logs on with a large train (wheither it be pre 4.80 or not) the server lags like hell. I'm not sure WHAT on the Train causes this.. wheither it be the pods or something else. I don't think Igiss is gonna change any more on the Large Train, so lets not go all ape about it
When someone logs in with a capital ship pre 4.80 (Transport, or whatever), it lags like hell.
I talked to someone who also did a similar upgrade path to what we did (started at 4.78, then 4.79, then finally 4.80) and said he's seeing many of the same problems we did, and because he had like 15 players that play regularly, the other 20 were just show-ups that play every 5weeks, he did a player whipe and the lag disappeared.
Now for compensation.
This is entirely up to us, gentlemen. Please remember that editing a player in Ioncross is a very fickle thing. I do *NOT* want people running up to us begging for $$ so they can go buy their favorite ship again. I've started over on this erver, and it's not quite *THAT* hard to earn your first $2 mil in less than 6 hours. It's pretty easy, kids.
I'm not making any guarantees, nor any final decisions. We'll stimulate a player whipe to see how the server reacts. If it reacts within specifications, then the player whipe will happen.
If it doesn't, it's back to the drawing board. I want to make one thing clear. This is entirely up to us to decide on how to proceed. I understand a lot of us have 5+ characters and something like more than 2 Billion in credits total. This shows how much you game, and I'd be impressed if you have 15 characters and break the credit limit five times over.. but that's not going to change our minds about a player whipe or compensation. It works the same way across the board. I get reset. Korrd gets reset. Angel gets reset. *ALL* Of us.
Compensation is easy. We can reset the starting credits to whatever we deem necessary, and go from there. But please be aware it'll be a temporary solution, and won't last for more than 2, 4 weeks.
Hope this explains a few things more clearer...
