Roger dodger...I wasn't seeing it with a dos ping, only with something graphical.

For what it's worth...

I can ping both the relay server and the zone server with no lag. I get 100-120ms. While my client is reading anywhere from 2000-4000ms. It feels to me like it's not network based but server based. Thrashing DB? Thrashing hard drive?

Really depends what you're shooting. Green shooting red will have way more dps than a blue shooting a red...so, your question is invalid.

@Dev Zoom.

So all the insurance fraud nic used to place buy orders for commodities and the users that sold them to those buy orders and received the "NOW" deemed illegal NIC.

Will the DEV team take time to trace the logs for that nic and remove it from the sellers wallets?

if they do that, they would also have to remove the stuff that was probably built out of those commodities that you have bought with illegal NIC - like those masses of sequer, and probably even more items...

Might as well wipe the game and start over right?

I think we need dual marker circles for our HUDs with the inclusion of the new sensing mechanics. Green and red, or white and red...colors don't really matter but having it would be extremely helpful.

Numerous small scale pvp objectives that give nice rewards.  Mines in shadowbane essentially for those familiar with the best siege pvp game ever made.

3-4 mines per beta island.  Vulnerability windows open for 1-2 hours at a time per mine staggered throughout the day.  Make the mine a active hacking node and the first person to hack it locks it down until the next vulnerability window 1 day hence.  Mine produces different ore types(titan,hdt,epriton,etc.) which is deposited into corp storage for controlling corporation every hour/day.

QFMFT...holy moley, now that would be fun as hell. "SB.exe error" was absolutely the best siege game too, loved destorying all the buildings.

FYI, there is a group of hardcore fans who are working on a free version. www.playtocrush.com

As I said.  Standard M2S practice.  Have any opposing point of view and they bring out 1) flood of posts to outnumber your point of view.

You can't compare speed in EVE to speed in Perpetuum because it is not WASD, has warping to bookmarks, ships use microwarp drives that can be shut off with scramblers, access to speed stacking mods, combat mostly around stationary points, more concentration on gate camping etc.  In Perpetuum movement boils down to a single stat.
How fast can you run.  A large difference in that is all-powerful.

The relevant comparison is that EVE has more classes of ships enjoying roaming than Perpetuum does.
For roaming, its EWAR lights alone.  No lights, no assaults.
For EVE roaming, a rifter is always welcome, or an interceptor, or assault frigate or a HAC or a cruiser.

I can unequivocally state that Infestation doesn't just roam with light ewar. They visited Domhalarn south with 6 mechs, 4 ewar and 1 assault recently. This group was fast and most likely fitted for range. The only thing they caught though were some ECorp members attempting to raid through Heydelhorn Station. I have to say that was some pretty bad timing on their part since we had already scouted their group prior to landing on Beta.

I have a contact who reviews games for a popular gaming website. I've reached out to her to see what she can or can't do.

Actually The Gunslinger is Steven King. Long series titled The Dark Tower.

Wipeout is the bomb. My kids and I watch every episode and revel in the humiliation of others. One word...Jill.. (-)(-)

Community is pretty funny. Up to date with the latest chuck eps and it seems ok but the earlier seasons were bbetter IMO. Castle is ok I guess but I watch it more because I enjoy Nathan fillions charm (guess I still hold onto the firefly days).

Series to look forward to in the next few months or so is the George R R Martin hbo adaptation which should be a real good watch. "a game of thrones" .Not comedy, but I think it's worth a mention.

I like Chuck, though the earlier seasons are better than the current one. I stopped watching The Office because it was more of the same episode after episode and watching Michael be *** every other second was too painful. Castle is good and you're right that it's the Firefly link, or the witty one liners; or is it both?

The Gunslinger is being brought to TV/Movies as well and should prove...awesome.

Now if only Martin would actually finish the next book and publish it rather than screw around with card games and crap like that.

If you want something good to read while waiting, grab Gardens of the Moon by Stephen Erikson and start an addiction with the Malazans.

I'd like sensors and scouting skills to actually mean something. We should have to get close enough to see them to see what/who they are. Or sensors good enough to analyze from that 1km mark and figure out what they are.

You could set the relation in your HOSTS file yourself if you wanted. Do a search for 'edit HOSTS file' and you'll find how to do it. Just remember if they change IPs down the road, you'll have to go in and change it again.
