Two things were consistently occuring in JTL Beta which you, as a player, should note:
1. Those running less than 1GB of RAM frequently had problems with little warps happening multiple times a second because the game was having to read/write to and from cache. The HD hits caused skipping which is tolerable in the ground game, but was very irritating when trying to target ships in space combat.
2. Testers often reported that 56k modems caused a lot of lag issues which created warping, again making space combat and timed missions near impossible.
