So, when I play on the server, oftentimes I have a loss of up to 35%. My friend who lives less than a mile away from me never has any more than about 3-5%. What gives? It sucks taking 5 minutes to dock to anything because of this. I used to play on wifi with this problem, and today I tried using an ethernet cable to plug directly into my router and it was worse somehow. I got kicked off the server 4 times in a row, within about 30 seconds of play.
edit: also, when I ping, it gives me around 100-200ms even when I have 35% loss.

Odd, my reply didn't post. Anyways, I live in Illinois, USA, and my friend, who lives less than a mile away, only gets sporadic lag, nothing like what I have, and very low amounts of loss.

I'm in Canada, and the ping's around 100 to 200 ish... Its fine usually.
It all depends on how your ISP routes data to Europe, since the server is located in the Czech Republic.
I'm located in Denmark, and it's very seldom I see a ping larger than 55ms. Normally the login screen shows a ping of 40 ms, and ingame, I get 45-50 ms ping, with the highest loss reported being 3 %.
Doing a traceroute to the servers IP shows a total of 14 jumps, including the two local jumps over my own LAN routers.
Out of bats, Out of bots, Out of torps - Down to harsh language...
Update: I'm completely fine in systems with no one else in them, then, as soon as someone comes in, or I go into a system with someone else, I lose my connection to the server. This is more than a little upsetting. I like playing online because I love to interact with all the other players, and I can't even be in the same system as anyone else!

Sorry for the double post, but I thought this was odd.
So now, every time I join I get disconnected from the server within 10 seconds. Player name is Ophion if some admin felt like helping out somehow. I don't know what they'd do, but just throwing it out there.
edit:
Ok, so for some reason, my character Ophion does not like the server. My other two characters, Maximilian and Lexicon are both fine, at least for the minute or so of testing I did for both of them. Does anyone have any idea what might be up with that? Character corruption possibly? I think I might end up just deleting the character, but I'd hate to lose the 450k credits in the hold. (Hey, I'm poor alright?)
