Consistent Lag while Playing...

[JeremiahLoh]

Okay I have been playing Pirate Galaxy just recently, I have both some possible tech support questions and some suggestions?

Tech Support:

I live in Malaysia (Could this be related to me getting disconnected?)

My Laptop is a Dell Inspiron 1515 (Should be more than Powerful enough... )

Java is up-to-date.

I am using Vista Home Premium with an Administrator Account

I keep getting disconnected usually while playing the Game every 3-5 minutes. This coupled with the tedious Energy Farming is quite making me more annoyed than enjoying the game. This is happening even with the Resolution already set to 800x600, all unnecessary applications closed and Graphics Settings set to Lowest.

Suggestions:

Energy Farming - As it is, it may probably be what people will say when they are asked on the concept of Pirate Galaxy. (i.e: Person 1: So I just read about PG is it good? Person 2: Yeah its good I guess... if your fine Farming your energy every 1-2 hours) May I suggest that maybe instead Energy be gained by 100-200-300... and so forth, +100 every 10 Levels. For Membership Players, They receive an extra 100 as opposed to non-payers. (200-300-400) This would in my opinion, make Energy farming less of a burden to players both regular and paying.

Asian Server - I'm thinking there may be a small but probably growing community of players deriving from the Asian Section of the Earth, Do you have plans on creating a Server for Asia? And then give us Asian players a option to migrate our accounts their...for a price of course.

Refitting Equipment from other ships to your newer Ships - After finally being able to afford the Level 10 Ships, much to my dismay.. I have to start back from square one on getting equipment for it?! Seriously... do they really think People have that much time to Re-Grind all over again. (I'm almost tempted to quit now...)

First up, welcome to the game. And for the lag, alot of people have got that issue at the moment. I get disconnected quite alot, along with a number of other players. As you probably don't know, the game's relatively new, only being released last year and the Dev Team have been pushed to releasing new items, such as Sol. Lag has been an issue since the start of Sol's release and for all I know, the Devs might be working on it - I'm not sure.

Also, the energy collecting. Nobody finds it fun, and as you get further into the game and equip more powerful tech, you will use more and more energy and you will find that you need to collect every 15-20 minutes. So energy collecting takes up quite alot of time. Now you get an energy producer with membership, which gives you up to 20e per minute - something around that.

The Asian server, I'm thinking that it's going to go ahead but seeing as the game's relatively new, I doubt it'd be in the coming weeks. A number of servers have came online lately, like the American and a few others.

Hopefully this answers what you're wandering about,

I don't

Membership used to give you energy booster which increases the energy you collect by a small %

No they didn't

Well the energy isn't too much of a bother... but it gets to you when your being surrounded and all that precious cryo you could have picked up gets to you.

I tested out that "OTHER" Java-powered MMO but it doesn't seem to have the lag problems. when by Other you know what I mean right...
