Why not just make it 2% to max speed per level and decrease demob resistance then?

Even wired power transfer causing some energy loss, and here we have wireless one. Well, probably we've discovered that secret techniques of Tesla, but still, that doesn't negate losses, just makes them lesser

Detector causing freezes because of lots on npc around is a known problem since detectors were implemented. Those roots, however are hiding (IMHO ofc) in a visibility mechanics - if you can't detect a target, it doesn't exist for you. Probably, server doesn't calculate/send target information until in detection range - once they're in, it needs to calculate/send a large amount of data to actualise situation for you. Possible solution may be to calculate/send that info regardless of visibility state - that may decrease overall performance but there will be no peaks and freezes.

I have a slightly better CPU, gtx550, 8gb ram and similar resolution. No matter of number of clients running, or their settings, there is a strong fps decrease near any TF-ed area (more TF - less FPS) so I'm pretty sure that the problem hides in TF.

Since all the graphic calculations now being handled by GPU, I think that bottleneck is here, probably linked to textures resizing on stretched tiles.

Both. All the Perpetuum history - is players showing to DEVs how to use things they've made.

Very interesting. There is, however, a guns vertical angle limitation - how does it work and why a such or similar system can't be implemented to terraforming and stuff?

Achievement: Mister Twister - obtained by spinnig your bot in terminal x times.

One of possible solutions - is to change overlay window coordinates, or settings at all - or not to use overlay. Try to make overlay window-style, not a bar style. And change coords of window/bar, ofc.

All you've described tells that it's definitely not a GPU or ISP or hardware problem at all - check the software you're running or installed that may use DirectX and can place something over your active window (like TS3 Overlay). It seems Perpetuum doesn't like when something disturbing it's full-screen mode

Look at this:

At the beginning, players can't attack or being attacked at alpha until they raise their pvp flag. This flag, once being raised, remains in that state until you're manually lower it. There is a restriction - once you became says 40 days old you can't lower it anymore. On betas/gammas everything stays as it is.

Your loot on alpha can be taken only by players with the same flag state - if you was unflagged when you died, only unflagged players can get your loot and vice versa.

Oh, and yes - trials aren't allowed to raise flag.

Mobile Camp Vehicle - unarmed, slow, no cargo space. When deployed (should take a long time), others can dock in and get stuff from a terminal that bot linked with.

Teleport choose window doesn't close after jump. Tested on interzone teleport.

When first one jumps via interzone teleport, all the rest can't choose different destination.
