A few notes about the server status

[Syrus]

I noticed there were MANY NPCs while there were many players (>160), and the server seemed to be relativly lagfree. Was that just a dream, or was that real?! ;O


EDIT: Buuuuut I wasn't fighting any players today, just some NPCs who attacked my miner (try shooting flies with a sniper...it sucks.). So maybe I didn't notice the lag that much.

And yes, the server is down at the moment.

Same here dude, I noticed it too (@ yesterday).

Although it kinda annoys me. Because it is like... Many NPCs + Your Big SHIP = Disaster. Almost every friggin time NPCs hits your ship and ya'll just roll over @ 180 degrees w/o any further notice that they'll hit you.

It always happens to me especially at Trade Lanes, Jump Gate & Jump Holes.

• Just flying Around: ====► (Your ship @ 0 Degrees)
  
• A NPC Hits You: ◄==== (Your ship @ 180 degrees)

Advanced Trains only have Four links, your picture is inaccurate!

I'm no geometry wiz but I'm pretty sure that's only 180 degrees.

Forgive me for asking essentially the same question again, but I still don't get it... I thought the only reason we dropped the 10/10 fiber connection was because the DDOS attacks fried the gateway. We were then going to replace it, running on a temporary 10/2 ADSL backup until it could be replaced. When did that plan go out the door and why?

Complaining about getting turned around in a Adv. Train? Ever tried to do a mission on a Geb with ~20 NPC Fighters hitting you? It's no fun, I tell you. You could get seasick.

But, I won't say I don't like having NPCs around. It's very annoying for a trader who's going near the Nomad-Systems (Kappa, Delta, etc), but it makes the systems a bit busier. As long as it doesn't effect server stability or lag, it's good I think.

I did try doing missions using a Geb and yeah exactly. This thing happens to me as well. I can't even use turret view properly because of those NPCs (tiny little LNs & BHs, lol they're like small pixels hitting yer ship:angry:).
