Lag is insane. Getting an 800+ ping rate, FPS jumping from 18 to 5 and back, ships stuttering all across the screen, server restting my position as often as 3 times in as many seconds... this needs to be addressed ASAP.
Seriously doubt it's my system... 2 gig Athlon processor, 1 gig RAM, GEForce FX 5200 w/128 megs video RAM.
It could be your ISP, try the following out http://www.broadbandspeedtest.net/ if it does prove that there is nothing wrong with your pc or your internet connection then you can email the results to Sony with a bug report
I was getting this too. On a Whim, I followed the instructions on the Launch Pad for improving it. It works....However...Things look...slightly....Odd....
Hope they get it fixed so that things look better and are stable.
Also...Did I miss the part about where the Yacht cannot be painted? I understand it not being a combat ship, and not able to swap out equipment....But I am kinda tired of seeing 50 million white yachts flying around.Before you even ask...I did try painting it, used a paint kit...and nothing happened....It's still white. Is there no color pallet for the yacht?
Other then that...Only problem I have is that and the crafted component names are still getting truncated. Has been mentioned since Beta....

- Sorosuub Yachts now have the ability to be repaired in the event they take damage from the escape pod.
Ok, this makes no sense. I thought the Sorosuub Yacht was invulnerable to damage????? So, why do you need to repair it? There should also be no reason to Eject from this ship either, so, that option should be taken away from it.
Yachts can be painted, to a point. The texture kits create various decals on your ship, which are the only things the paint kit colors. Kit 5 gave me nice curved stripes on my yacht's bow. One is colored by the primary option of the paint kit, the other is linked to the secondary. Haven't tried the other kits yet to see what they do with the yacht.

- Teamed up with a reb group member and we got it on the first try. Very cool. Was stuck here in beta.
- Mission seemed to go on forever. Wasn't clear when it was finished vs. when one phase was finished. Some sort of overall mission progress bar would be wonderful.
- [== ] 15% Complete.
- [======= ] 50% Complete.
- [=========== ] 85% Complete.
- The transition from escort to destroy phases happend just as a newly spawned wave of escort targets came in. Add in the newly spawned destroy targets and I had 6 Tier 3 enemies for a 2222 pilot.
- Upgraded ships from Dune Lizard to Kimogila hereafter training to 2322. The mass change from Dune Lizard to Kimogila wasn't enough to really warrant the change from L5 to L7 components. Not complaining, just reporting. Makes the Kimogila kind of a lame duck. Why get it at Tier 2 if I can get all my (upto) L5 gear in my Dune Lizard and be more maneuverable? I am still using a good performing L2 engine.
- While the Kimogila allowed me to upgrade some components, I really should have just waited to 3322 to upgrade totier 3 ship mass (assuming it has more mass) and skipped the Tier 2 ship altogether. My reb friend held her tongue with her ~140K mass tier 1 ship while I tried to jam my 90K ship together...

From the Friday Feature of the Sorosuub Yacht:
The luxury yacht itself that will be made available to Galaxy citizens will be the pleasure model that does not have Lando's "special modifications. The ship will be invulnerable to attack, possess no weapon systems, sensor arrays, escape pods, droid brain etc.
So, if this ship cannot be attacked, how the hell does it get damaged??? If its invulnerable to attack, then that means that no damage can be dealt to it. And if it can be damaged, why does it not have shields to protect from that damage???????????
