Question(s) for the Admins

[Nutline]

Hello,

I'm a part of this community from years ago, just right after 4.85 version was depoyed, saw many fights, raids, blood baths, rp events and been a part of them with my chars around the whole sirius, I remember that every evening I had to try for atleast 10 minutes to join the server cause it was full (198/200 all the time).

I've been a part of countless fights with +25 ships involved, excellent roleplay and tactics, but this is all gone ... It all started with the 4.86 update.

In the last 2 months or so the server delivers (constantly) so called "lag" experience to all players, you can't even make a mission against couple of fighters without seeing lag spikes every ~30-45 seconds, you cannot fight bomber vs bomber anymore cause your SNAC's will not make damage (even if you see the animation, confirmed by friends and others being a part of the fight) <- you have to fire on the exact time when the server recovers from lag or your "supernova cannon" will be useless.

If someone hits you (cerberus for example) when the lagspike appears (which lasts 1-10 seconds every single time) and you're standing still (cause of the lag), you're dead and you'll not know what happend.

Yesterday I was a part of a raid, rheinland vs liberty, I was on rheinland side ... after we killed LN battleships / carriers / labc's all rheinland fleet was slaughtered by 6 bombers, I was in a fighter and I really couldn't HIT any enemy ship due to massive lag, not even get his shields off ...

This happens every single time, no matter if you're flying in space, alone ... no matter if you're fighting, mining, rp-ing, making missions ... the lag is all over the place.

Started to be unplayable and I'm pretty sure that the entire community is seeing this, if you're trading, mining, rp-ing it's ok ... but we cannot fight anymore, at all!

So, my question is this: Will this defective server behaviour be (ever) fixed (anytime soon) ?


If it's ddos, maybe you have to change the provider for the same amount of money are you spending on, OVH deployed free anti ddos service with every single dedicated server sold: http://www.ovh.co.uk/anti-ddos/
