Occasionally when I'm playing, my chat will suddenly cut out - I won't see anything incoming or outgoing. I'm still able to fly around and dock with stations, and log out. It happens randomly: once when I just finished a race, another time as I entered s9, and once while loading s17.

If I do log out I'm still listed as an active player for quite some time, and can't log back in.

Hmm. I was making this post while waiting for it to stop listing me as active on the active players page. I just checked again and it seems that a bunch of other players dropped as well.. the total pop went from 30 or so to 12.

Yeah. There was (and maybe still is -- hopefully not) a memory leak, and the server was starting to swap heavily. Either a bug in Lua itself or simply unclear documentation. I think it's taken care of from now on.

Update: looks good so far. I think that fixed it.

Yay. Good work a1.
