This is happening to me too... CSR told me to turn off "pixel shading" in my video options, which I'll try this afternoon when I get home, but it seemed like a canned response. It seems the only ships that fly steady are the one I'm in and the space stations. Everything else is all over the place, impossible to target, impossible to fight, and if you DO manage to start a fight, you're in trouble.
Please help with this guys... I can't imagine we're the only 2 people having this problem. It's impossible to play JTL in combat without fixing this.

it is a canned response.. pixel shading has NOTHINGto do with it whatsoever.. my GOD!
all pixel shading in this particular game really does is makes water looks realistic, and makes chrome surfaces (on protocol droids for example) reflex like mirrors
the warping (drunken bees) issue is network synching issue on THEIR side and theres not a damn thing you can do about it.. its been around since beta.. seems to have been fixed somewhat in 11.2, but this morning it's back again in full force

if you live on a college campus it could be that the have limited your bandwidth on that port. they are temorarily blocking that port and this is causing you to not recieve packets. and thats why the other ships are jumping across the screen.

This is probably the best answer. Could also be something going on with you Internet Provider. This happened to me about a year ago. Found out my provider was over crowding my area with new subscriptions. Things would be fine until around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Of course after that time everyone was coming home and getting on their computer. Even though my pings seemed fine I was getting a lot of warping and stuttering. After they upgraded my service to handle the number of people we had everything was fine again.
Don't know if this helps but it is a reason.
I don't think it is on SOE's side here. I haven't had any of these problems either in beta or in live. Also, I have played on 3 different computers of variousCPU's; amounts of RAM and vid cards and SOE galaxies. Still, never happened.

Sounds more like 'rubberbanding' to me.. because it happens to me too....
