How many crashes does it take for people to understand that the server can't handle so many players in ONE spot? Like it was suggested: Try to implement several smaller hotspots whenever possible. Fighting the reptile squad is much fun, since it is a rather large fight but people do not teleport around like crazy and skill actually matters besides the amount of shots you can fire into random directions.
The server and with 225 people in one system was subjected to strong lags.
You should not be surprised at this. When there are many players in one system, and they are at one point (plus in battle) - these lags will occur. They happened, are happening and will happen.
That is, yes, the only solution is to make several hot spots.
Sounds like it was a mixed bag this event. I'll have to turn up for the next one. Would have been nice to see a full server again. The game just ain't the same as it used to be. Why old players like me, don't return as often!

New rule. You can only jump hostiles into your ZOI.
it was quite unexpected to see BAF players around Malta but they handled it quite well and didn't sundive (mostly). After we came i took care of the snub in a very insane way inRP (using a snub) and later escorted BAF back to NL using a JD on my Ransi together with QC.
All in all, the RP was very nice and that's what matters here. Things don't have to be strict as long as it is justified ^^.
