For over 1 week this game has had lag. Not the "ship freezes in game" type but seems the game is out of syn. Blasters do not fire all the time and afterburning is a stop and go event. Nothing seems to work the way it did. I logged in the 7 AUG and game was better..umm for first half hour but back to the normal lag/flying thru water type play. Seems the server/client is overloaded. Why I say this is that I played a game where the code/items involved for the client type wasn't enough(overloaded client items/code conflict) causing conflicts in code and bugs/glitches. I used to really enjoy this game and liked to help other players but that is long gone now. I like this game and support it by spending what little money I have on extras so the game can be more enjoyable for me and others I help but why keep spending money on a game that seems to ALWAYS have problems. On an Alienware Aurora with 6gb ddr3(double the memory at purchase) and very few(5 I think) programs loading on startup and very few running in background, a 30mb fiber optic conn, I shouldn't have any problems. Just to make sure I log on my old game and to my surprise it is running great. No lag, no bugs..glitches NADDA!! Seems games go thru phases..well running games with a loyal following then go MAINSTREAM..sponsors, more extras to buy and always running on page in the way when you orbit and last the exit of alot of loyal fans when the overloaded small fan based game go mainstream and plays like vinyl record that has been played a few hunderd times on a record player that needs a new needle!
