Online Docking

I have a 56k dial-up modem and i regulaly go on many servers but not for long. Whenever i try to dock at any kind of station, planet or battle ship i get close to it then in cinematic mode (where you cant cancle it) it stops a little way out from the dock. Then 30 seconds later i get another call to go to a different dock where it either goes forward into the planets atmosphere or crashes into the ship. I realy need help with this one because apart from flying around i cant do much else. Plz someone must have a solution. -Alexio (Backwards Logic)

The best thing to do is sort the server list by ping times and connect to the one with the lowest ping, and preferably the lowest player count as well.

This should maximise the data stream between your system and the server. Sounds like a bizarre lag issue.

Just my $0.02, but it could just be the cardamine talking.
