Ok for the last few days i been getting serious lag when i jump. Its only loading the sector that i lag. Its either waiting on the sector load screen or the warp entry screen.

Right now my ping is:
Ping: 49.8 +/- 20.7
bps out 12 in 7

FPS is 250 - 350

The ping is usually 45-55 it rarely goes higher then that. My Fps is usually 100 -- about 150.

Is there anything i should do to see where the problem is coming from?

Yeah, its great, im in the UK and load sectors faster than Jess! Muhahaha!

I think its time you changed ISP Jess.

It's probably because Jestatis has 3625 stacks of items in his inventory and each sector you warp into loads all of them. I made a scalability vs. efficiency trade off a while ago which slows this process down a bit (at the time I had hoped it would be faster...), and I have some ideas for making it go quite a bit quicker (leaving aside for the moment that there is never any need for the sector to load your *entire* inventory).

yoda, OTOH, only has about 140 or so...

I don't know whether a fix will make it into tonights update or not. Screwing with that could be potentially game-breaking so I want some time to test it.

thanks i'll start selling stuff i don't need though.

Shhhhhhh! a1k0n, you bastard, don't fix it!

Let me check if I understood.

Every time you enter a sector, the load times are proportional to how many total lines are in the inventory across the galaxy?

1000 Heliocene in a clump = 1 line? 1 lawgun = 1 line, and 100 lawguns = 100 lines?

If this is the case, I guess by the next Deneb Run I will get rid of a LOT of the cruft I have around the stations I use as warehouses.

That'd a very good way to use a design flaw, speeding up my race, at the expense of who has been in a galactic scale spending spree. :)

You let my secret out (even though i tried to tell players about this in the past).

I hate you andy! :'(

That's exactly right; stockpiles of non-stackable items will hurt you until we fix the design flaw.

Sorry yoda, but the truth had to come out sooner or later... I've actually explained this before.

I need a quick way to sell everything at all but 2 or 3 staions before the denab run tommorrow. clicking sell once then waiting 30 secs before my mouse comes back so i can sell again is very annoying.

Hint: Incessant spamming of 100 with "BUY CH3AP V1AGRA LAW NEUTS" isn't going to get you there.
