Made some major changes to the internal server code so that the metaverse should be much more stable now. Additionally, if you leave the metaverse, next login you will begin in the same system where you left... assuming the server is up, if not then you begin on the server you join or your home system.

but the big problem, the massive lag, when you change the system isn't solved yet 
isn't it possible to "park" your ship in the gate until all objects are loaded and you've no problems with lag when you leave the gate ?!
nice addition woulb be, a status window for the parking ships.
you see who's in the gate, even if he's still loading objects or if he's rdy to leave the gate ..
much easier to organize the invasion of a good defended enemy system ...

or - to top that (good) one:
give the player the choise to prolong the stay in the gate until "all" is ready

I plan to make the loading pre-connect very soon, meaning it will load and cache all the textures and models before the game attempts to connect to a server.
This should make things better...
