I've updated the server to reduce the load when players connect. Some of the major lag spikes were caused by economy updates when players connect.
I've changed the system so that you only receive economy updates when you enter a base for the first time. This means that your commodities trade route screen might be wrong if you haven't entered the base since logging into the server.
Nb. If your market data is updated, you'll see a little message "Updating market data..."
