VO 1.8.219
VO 1.8.219 includes:
- 'Entering Universe' takes time on your first post-release login, but is much faster from then on.
- Fixed problem with leaving the gunnery position of a ship while that ship is docked to an npc capship. You are now sent to your home station.
- Removed Voice Chat errors from in-game chat log. They now only appear in the errors.log file.
- All finished Border and Hive Skirmishes should now be removed from the mission list.
We still intend to improve the "initial" login length for new users, which currently downloads a lot of dynamic mission data. However, for our existing users this patch should be a major improvement.

Nice, those empty skirms were irritating. Thanks.
I commented in Bugs as well, but the bogus missions are still showing. I just tried to take a fighter and then a Small.
The entering universe patch, is working very well for me. I am experiencing a great improvement. Thanks for the patch. :)
Yes, its great!!
Good update - You may want to stick a note up for the first timers saying your pre loading stuff so that future loads will be a lot quicker....
now that I tested it more than once, I can say: Great improvement!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you VERY much for the lazy-load mission list. Logging in is a heck of a lot faster now!
Only one problem with it though, the Mission Board is missing things until the game finishes loading them all, but you have no way of actually telling when it's done. Is it possible to add a placeholder or indicator to the Mission Board while it's loading the missions in?

I am experiencing a weird issue, and I am not sure if it has to do with the update or not. I am guessing the Mission List is being loaded afterwards, like mentioned above.
What happens though is if I immediately go to the Missions tab after logging in, and select a mission and hit "Info", my game hangs up for quite a while. No indication that it is loading or anything... just sits there, for up to 30 seconds sometimes (I am on a slow DSL connection, so could be the reason it takes so long)
Maybe just put a loading message into the Missions tab until everything is loaded?

I've had something similar, but it doesn't only happen right after I log in, and I think it may have happened multiple times during the same session for the same mission.
