Time and time again I bring this up and I hear the same response. Its your internet. It you. Your connectivity sucks. Potato PC. etc. I have never in my seven years of Discovery had this problem. I am literally being attacked by multiple caps. and bombers. But the lag is so bad I cant even see the Caps, saw 1 bomber and im being killed. The Lag is incredible and we need to address this quickly. Ever since the Developers took over the server health has been declining and while most of you didnt like Alley (I never had an issue with her) She knew how to keep the server running. This game is currently unplayable and a Mod that cant be played is a mod that is destined to die. We need to start taking measures to ensure connectivity is great across the entire board. Even skorak in the GM chat yesterday said he does not live to far from the server and he is having issues. Lets get this done.

And here I thought the whole time you just weren't fighting back out of protest. This explains everything. Sorry mate.
As for everything else, I agree 100%. The server can barely be tested these days without connections dying for most people. Before my hard drive failure, the last few fights I'd been in, and the last few times I just flew around in space, I'd had abhorrently bad lag, and for every fight I could not in good sense blame my internet. 5G Comcast WiFi? Nope.
The server really needs a tune-up. I can't fully remember what it was like before we switched hosts, but it was definitely a better time before we did.

I knew I was going to die and I really wanted to give a hell of a fight. But yeah.

We need to change providers and upgrade to a higher quality server. I mentioned I would be willing to help pay for it while expecting nothing in return.

Unfortunately it's a too common issue. Lagspikes, lag that lasts for tens of seconds randomly, sudden loss and even crashes for me. Connectivity to everything else but Disco is perfect, sometimes 1% loss at worst.
Whatever happened is discouraging people, me included, to even log at this point. It's just no fun.
I'll appreciate any minute spent on tackling this issue by the staff, it's likely annoying to hear "oh that lag reeee" all day recently, but we really appreciate it. Can't really help myself, so I'll give you a for any possible solution.
I think the return to the old donation system when people could pay a few coins for the server's maintenance is a good solution to get a better hardware and connection to the body server, don't you think so?

It could help. I doubt we can upgrade anything when one guy ends up having to pay it all voluntarily. So when a handful do so again, uh yeah. That can help.

We would need a guarantee that the money would go to a new server but yes we need to bring that back.
