I'm hoping everyone is getting the bad out of syncs I've been getting. Here's the story of mine so far:
I don't go out of sync until I jump to another system. If I choose a shipyard planet and stay in that system I'm fine.
However, when I plot a jump to another system, once I get there I'm totally out of sync. Every time. Sometimes it's REALLY bad. Yesterday I made a jump from Delta Pavonis to Lalande. When I got there I saw two ICC bombing planets and could hear them (I was kluth how could I hear them?) But I couldn't interact, couldn't fire on them, couldn't unload troops, heck I couldn't even crash into a planet so I could rechoose a shipyard planet! I few right through everything.
So I logged off and back on right away to fix my out of sync issue. Well, I wound up back in the jump with 130 seconds left! (that's like going back in time 5 minutes) AND...I was past Lalande and heading into deep space! Talk about out of sync!
So I logged. I heard in chat that I could use the /connect command to fix the out of sync issue, so I went back in and tried it. Yep, /command works it updated my position every time I used it...but it cloned my garage! (I was warned about it too).
So now I have 18 billion ships in my garage I can't use or remove and I can't even see the ship selections anymore. Ouch.
What may be causing my massive out of sync problems? And is anyone else getting them? If it's a universal problem, then it's definitely in the coding somewhere. If it's just me, hmm...I don't get these problems on the live servers?

It got worse for me. It was almost tolerable last week. This week...unplayable unless I want to stay in the system I spawn in.

Here's an update.
It seems the bad out of syncs occur when I'm doing a very long jump, somewhere over 250 seconds maybe.
Shorter jumps to nearby systems that only take 100-150 seconds or so cause very little out of sync.
This BTW is all done with a tachyon drive.
I know this cuz yesterday I tested it out a lot. If I jumped to a system more than 200 seconds away, I would go way out of sync, and when I used /connect to update myself, I would be back in my jump but past my target system. I have to quickly cancel the jump and turn around.
The shorter jumps don't do this.
