Hi Blacksix,

Is there anything in the grapevine about looking at the net code? I understand the core engine is the priority - maybe they both go hand in hand?

It's a real mess online once you get to around 50 players. That's not even close to the advertised 120+. This makes online scenarios rather simplified and confined unless you want to fly around for an hour and not find another player. I can deal with ships that fly, triggers that don't work, spawn points that are faulty, but without some sort of help on the net code side, it makes the game unplayable for many.

I've asked numerous times if there's any sort of a 1c guide for net speed and server settings without any response. I'll glady add whatever is needed to the config for best online performance, but realize all the servers are flying blind in this regard. The net code needs some major improvement.

I realize the majority of the dev team is working on the sequel, but how do you guys expect the online crowd to purchase it, if the current online code is not working well? We can not have the same thing again. This needs addressed badly.

Thanks.
