Hmm... for me it was pretty much on all types of missions (there were a lot of missions without having lag) as for factions -- Interspace, Hackers and Outcasts in my case.
If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov 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. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
I had been taking missions for the Xenos, Corsairs and Outcasts against the BH's and House Police.
I don't know about what types of missions they were (tractor loot, assasinate or kill ships) but I started to choose the quicker missions in hopes that I could get there quick enough and get it over with before the lag came in.
Any special lag with missions that involve space station destruction or weapon platforms?
Cause these items tend to generate server errors that are being logged, but unfortunately Discovery is one of the mods for which this problem can't be solved (or can be, but with ways unknown).
For me I don't recall lag coming about just when I had to destroy installations or weapons platforms. It seemed to happen with just about every mission I took there for awhile and i'd say "This is my last mission, too much lag and I ending up with less money than I started!" But then I realized I needed the money to start the characters and kept doing them. Maybe others were of the same mind. If I wasn't taking a mission with bases/weapons platforms, surely someone else must have been doing so at the same time.
The missions taken in Gamma, Alpha and Magellan had a lot of lag. But when I was taking the missions in Colorado and formed in a group with 4 others Phantoms, there was no lag... don't know if that helps.
I can tell you that I suffered no lag taking missions from Barrow Base in Hudson for the Xenos. All the missions that I took were kill ship. However, as I said before this was just after a server restart. A bit of lag was encountered taking kill ships missions from Ooray in Colorado. Especially ones that led into New York.
I thought that only happened in NY. I was in my starblazer, and whapah! Lag for about 10 minutes, I eventually had to close FL, but I was on my Bounty hunter cruiser, and I took a mission, lag started, I won the mission, but the lag NEVER STOPPED! I loged off for the rest of that day.
Just had a reasonably long session trading, with most other players doing the same thing,
so pretty sure no missions where being taken. Anyone else on at this time, if you would like
to give your movements please.
Almost no lag whatsoever, a couple of splashes of yellow appeared, but no problems relating
to them occured.
