Post Client Patch and New Server 12-30
* Everyone gets +1 range on their Astral Travel skill, so even if you don't have any of that skill, you can double click on an adjacent galaxy on the star map to autopilot there

* F1 no longer tries to launch a non-existent help file

* Client redirected to liberty.starsonata.com, our new server running on Amazon EC2

A want to offer a big thanks to Jey who is the mastermind of the whole EC2 thing. We should hopefully see a nice improvement in server performance and it's mainly thanks to hours of hard work and special expertise on his part. Also thanks to Julian who is helping us debug a few remaining minor problems with the new server configuration and has helped configure EC2.

That's great news, tackling lag is a big issue but you know what would also help the recent lag massively? A universe reset, you need to reset Jeff, people are getting bored.

P.S I wasn't being sarcastic, that really is awesome that we have a new server, great work. :)

Jey was a huge help in helping us move the server over. I recommend him for all your Linux server needs. :D

Does this patch add in all the other stuff we have been waiting to have patched? "Stares at admins for paxian cap ships"

Note that if you manually redirect your client to liberty.starsonata.com, you miss out on the client patch.

Funny because I mentioned today that the forums seemed faster than before.

At times the forum is much slower. Sometimes it doesnt even load at all and I have to press the link again for it to work.

I see lot less lag. But for the biggest issue for me is ping reduction from 255ms to 140ms. This greatly improves my playing experience.

Seems to only happen at work so probably not a issue with the new server.

Mine has gone from 231ms to 116ms
