Is this some kind of bad joke? |

Because I am not laughing. The only server worth playing is the MV and even with my fast comp and DSL I cannot even type a single chat-line or turn my ship without having it take an extra 3 minutes to actually work. Even if I'm lucky enough to actually get within range of an enemy I can count on the game freezing long enough for me to lag out or just die, both of which make for great gameplay these days.
So is anyone else enjoying this or do you like wasting money? The most fun I ever had playing this game was when I first started at least a year ago and it has gone further and further down the crap-hole since then.
Whats an even bigger question is who's idea was it to give the game such a redundant and superficial overhaul, instead of fixing the other problems like the one where the game is unplayable about 80% of the time because of lag. So as of right now I may not be able to play the game but at least my weapons and ships have some different names.

I got no lag, so do a lot of people. Check your connection settings in setup and check if your hops to darkspace.net are ok.

Thats not lag... thats too little memory and a bad graphics card.

I might agree with you except for the fact that this is the only game I've ever played (ever) where I have experienced this much lag, and I have never had any problems playing in admiral with a lot of people its only in the MV. My comp is not too slow; I lowered the graphics to almost nothing and i still get incredible lag and this game is defintiely not the most graphically advanced out there so I'm still thinking that lag is the problem.

normally lag is rare for me on the last patches but this patch round and round i go
i sneak in orbit of an enemy planet with a good ten enemy around and sit there waiting for everyone else to sneak in
a hive finally sneaks in then while they concentrate on him i uncloak and let ripp with a fully lvled mandy then having great fun get beaconed to 226 sig nice carry on having fun who cares if i die then at 67 hull screen lock then round and round i go where we stop only lag god knows.... followed by the inevitable killed by such and such
i check my pres and ive gone down since the patch from 86500 and GA
to FA 80700.
