MP ****y ships

Hi

I've noticed this on a couple of diffrent servers, some with pings lower then 70ms
(even when connecting to my server via lan) the AI ships have very ****y movments, makes hitting them much harder, but it's also hard on the eyes.

Has anyone seen this befor or been able to solve it?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tan Hauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.

The game is highly lag intolerent: AI ships maneuver fantically, and this, coupled with the fact that ships can change direction extremely quickly, means that at any ping above 70ms, you will not be able to hit a starflier with any reliability. That has been my experience. The net code seems very bad at predicting the most likely path for a ship. It can't cope with a less than stellar ping. Freelancer could really benefit from some improved net code, in regards to AI behaviors, I think.

I've seen this too. Makes hitting small ships like the Starflier, Startracker, and Patriot extremely hard, almost impossible to hit with some weapons with any degree of reliability.
