Ooo, limited ammo on the agt would be sweet. It would force people to fight with it more carefully, and make it less of a "lowest common denominator" lazy weapon, force users to be more tactical.

oh that would be sweet.

something like 300-400 rounds would more than suffice.

Another idea on how to reduce lag:

Have the weapons fire bursts and treat them as single objects.

i'm kinda sick to hear weapon discharge or ship speed is the cause of lag. that's total bull.

when i joined in late 2004, there were as many players as there are right now (an average of 40-50 on the evening). ships were all faster, across the board, everybody was spamming AGTs, rockets and swarms and we had none of the lag we currently have.

the lag really started to become a problem about 6 months ago. it's so bad that even low-profile sectors (h2) causes me to miss-fire up to two out of three shots.

so, if you wanted to know why my subscription ran out, that's it.

that and guild bank (!)

edit: i still love the game though and anyone not affected by these outrageous lags should enjoy the ride. i will again some day when these issues are resolved.
