Dear devs and admins:

[AeternusDoleo]

There are no epic battles in the proximity of a base. There are just 10 caps shooting a stationary object. The only actual battles I have seen were the O3 ones. That one was a good and large battle.

But as for the others, it is just one side shooting a base. Nothing else.

From what I've been told - the server usually goes on it's knees when a capheavy counterattack engages the base siegers. Ergo, one of those "epic battles" you're mentioning. I've participated in a few base sieges, both on offense and defense. On the Sair side, in wasting a base in Omega 49, we had no issues whatsoever with lag until a group of Mollies decided to come and play, even though we had at least a dozen heavies shooting the base.
On the IMG side, during Falster's establishment a group of Sairs tried to dislodge us while setting up. This ended up in a clusterpew with a lot of Sairs, some Hessians, some Armed Forces and of course IMG ships - but again, the server did not seem to have a lot of issues.

It would be a good idea to note which fleets cause lag. IE which types of ships are involved in the heavy lag generating events. This can then be used to identify the specific ships that have a tendency to create high lag. I got a fair idea which ones are the most problematic (the Legate and the Zoner jug topping the list) but it would help to note which are the worst.
