Seeing how Aurora server has recently so much people connected at the same time and the server is not lagged, I was thinking to check tomorrow if along the day after the update the server goes better.
Because if by that the server goes without lag (or at least better) maybe the workaround for this will be to put a daily restart...
The server stills with lag, one of the things that is affected is the orbital strike. You use this and it delays to explode or it appears on wrong coordinates, result in the NPC not being damaged with this.
Also the fleet history, messages and member list is affected when I change the clan rank to someone (and the message takes a lot to appear). When I jump my jumpship the message of "The Doctor sent the jump ship to X" also takes a lot to appear.
The lag also generates infinite loading screens or loading screen freezed when the player changes zone (not always but it happens).
I don't know but I hope you can find what goes bad on Gaia to fix it
