Alright, I have the patience for many things, and can hold it for a while.
However, somethings go too far.
I few minutes ago, I lost 3 ships on Kluth, in around the space of about 3 minutes. All from planet collisions. 2 Gangilas, Fully modded, and a Hive. Thats around 300-400 prestige down the drain from lag.
How does this make me angry? Well, I can deal with losing my ships from lag when my JD is green and hit the EJump and it wont work because of the alignment bug.
I can deal with the lag when it prevents me from engaging an enemy properly, or prevents me from shooting back.
However, losing 3 ships from planets in that short space in time, really, REALLY, gets on my last nerve.
In detail, the first Gangila I lost was when I had jumped to Queenie, and hit orbit, and was orbitting, and suddenly I get the messeage ive been destroyed by Queenie. While im watching. I said "Oh well, ill mod another one here."
Next Gangila I lost was when I spawned another Gangila at Taf, and was orbiting Cya while modding, and suddenly as im modding sabots onto my Gangila, im suddenly destroyed by Cya. I was annoyed enough here to let out my feelings in faction chat. None were good.
Now here im on my final straw, and spawn another Gangila, get it modded and safely into the Shipyard, when I spawn a Hive for the first time, and was for fun trying to hit Jefferson Clay in his UGTO station, and since it missed by far and landed a bit close to their planet, I decided to spawn another WH somewhere near Queenie.
As I took out the second Hive, it was on a direct course towards Cya, and could not turn it out of the path in time. I was destroyed there, and severely damaged another Destroyer modding there in the process.
This disgusted me in such a way, that I seriously considered literally, trying to curse out every Admin in existance for the cheapness.
Ive lost many ships to lag, or glitches, I have had enough however, of it being this cheap. And though I know this will be ignored, or possibly flamed, I want to blame the 25 or so lost ships, with acompying prestige, on Palestar for the lag spikes that caused them or the glitches that kept me from getting out of the way...
And just as well, there are hundreds of people out there, who have had even worse things happen to lag, who actually try their best to not have to take it out on the Admins, or rant in the lobby. (Though maybe in game.) However, this in my view goes too far, since I feel I work harder and longer than I should for my prestige.
(Yes, those who knew me during my first year here, know what I had to go through.)
/end ranting.

I agree ent...The lag is getting Terrible...Ive lost well over 3k of press in the past month running into bloody planets becuase of it...When I bomb, I will clear the planet and get about, oh say...350gu away and then boom, Im deystroyed by the planet...And the orbit bug or what ever it is, I press O and let it go for a second, and see im still going full speed for a planet..So I starting slamming the O key in an attempt to save my ship..Doesnt work. I hope the admins do fix this, its getting cheap...

I've lost tons of prestige, probably have about 5k more if it wernt for lag, I dont care.
Plus, btw, Ejumping doesnt cause an alignment bug, only when you select a course and hit J does it do that.

Since Ejumping does not require alignment, it doesnt show up. Duh.

Dear Enterprise Yasari
I feel sorry about your lost(s)
To loose a ship is hard enough, but, sometimes, the nme is stronger, and/or more clever, or simply owerwhelming you
To loose a ship to the lag is much harder, i know, you can not fight back lag
WE have to fight the lag for you
Trust me, we take it serious, even if some "events" of lag are not "produced" from our side; even if no onlinegame is lagfree
fight on, we do the same
over and out

Now all we have to do is invent the Lag Destruction / Lag Ban Cannon of DOOM™ to shoot the little bugger everytime it shows its head....
