ADMIN NOTICE: Server undergoing lag testing

[Nightfall]

Well, I could get on just this morning for a short while... I see everyone experienced same as I did.
Another observation: lag tends to increase when SF's are on (mainly in Cambridge and NL) I usually have a little increase in lag when I'm in Cambridge or NL too and I noticed there is really a high concentration of NPCs there. Try comparing now with the lag we all were experiencing with a lot of people in New York. If a high concentration of players would be in New Berlin or New Tokyo, we'd have the same result certainly.
What am I trying to say? Maybe just lower the NPC patrols where there is a high concentration of them, not all of the NPC patrols (I mean, whatever is easier to do for Igiss) as places of really high concentration of NPCs are the capital planets and Tau-31 where the KNF and BAF are doing their little war...
I don't know, just throwing ideas here...

The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft.
