Dear devs and admins:

[Altejago]

Bang on.

Take a lesson folks, and get your A into G and stop your complaining. Start doing, not crying.

No one likes a cry baby.

Noooooooo

This should be seen as an opertunity.

Base seige capital ships.

Specialized. One for each house, perhaps.

Special guns that are super, super, super slow that are only really good at attacking bases.

Super high damage.

I have expected an anti Official Factions post.

I have expected an anti Official Factions post.

Why?

This has nothing to do with factions -_-

I've had two bases already and im not in any faction.

I'm saying it would be a good idea to reduce lag by reducing the number of ships needed to kill a base.

These Seigeships should be huge, VERY vulnerable with like 2 level 8 BS turrets... you get the picture.

We need a greater shiptype variety anyways.

Imagine that the PoBs got removed and then the casual big brawl still crashes the server with 20 ships.
This is not the answer- better donate for the server box and learn how to help if you have the time.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

Let's also remove ships from game, they create lags.

It's not the limitations of the server itself. It's the limitations of the Freelancer software and the additional instability from using flhook. It doesn't matter how good the server box is when the software doesn't natively support multi threaded processing and isn't large address aware.

Edit: Also, bases haven't changed combat at all, except now most of the capital ships are AFK shooting into empty space.

Would it help to decrease max server load back to 200? I can remember that FL was running smoother for longer periods of time back then. And the 225 are not used anyway most of the time. I cannot remember the date when I could not connect because of too many players online.

And: removing PoBs is not an option. It's a new, cool key feature that is just being tested and balanced, experiences of how to use them, how to make them work are just being made... so scrapping it is out of the question anyway.

I can. February and March, around the time i joined. It went downhill after that.

It was around 210 yesterday, and server was running smooth as silk. No big fights at the time, I was looking for them.
