What if someone lost connection, wants to join back but someone took over his helm? Your suggested solution guys would cause too much mess.

If you have a loss of connection in the first place, you either had a blackout or was lagging too much, I, using myself as test subject, found that a lagging captain is not a useful captain.
Recovering from a blackout takes time, and, unless everyone is behaving like a sniper, in that time the battle could have already ended.
If you got disconnected for the lag, then is better not to reconnect as you may keep lagging and cause more trouble than not.

One of the better captains I've flown under, Waffleghost, was flying with 600ms+ Ping.
Perfect galleon positioning.
Deal with it. :P

I still don't fully understand this witchcraft thingie that is the ping.
I usually end up in America servers, 220+ ping, no problems, 9 times out of 10
I end up even more usually (since I'm in Europe :P) in the European server and with barely 80 ping the worst case of "Dragonballs of Icarus Z" happens.
I mean, it's not that it doesn't happen also on the american servers, but, come on! 80 ping and everyone starts  teleporting around, with people being randomly disconnected?!?
I even flew sometimes with 400+ ping and nothing happened!


Also, these are perfect cases where you see shenanigans like
"Disable that Mobula there, don't let it turn!" *lag happens*
"Where the hell is it now...?"
"IT'S BEHIND US CAPTAIN"
"Well, fuck"

To describe it shortly: ping, or RTT as it should be called, is the time your network need to send packets of data, and then to receive a signal that packets were delivered; works in both ways. So if you have 600ms, this means that your game world is updated 5/3 times in a second, which is disadvantageous and causes visible distortions in your viewport, due to desynchronized gameplay and actions you take faster than your connection can process.

Is it clear enough? ^^
I could've mess it up, I wasn't an ace in Data Transmission classes.

Nah, he gave a very useful explanation, and, deep within me, I already know why....

Shenanigans, they must always happen.

A, pardon me.

Something tells me, that those european servers are somewhat fishy sometimes. That's all that is coming to my mind at the moment.

Woah, gentleman, get off your high horse, don't call the European servers "those", we all know that Eastern Europe is not far from Idiotic Europe!

He didn't mean anything wrong lol.

Also, give that man a piece of Ukraine for dichotomy "Eastern Europe - Idiotic Europe". As Poles we're closer to the Eastern Europe, eh?

Poles are IN Eastern Europe, well, maybe part of Poland, since some of it is borders just with Germany, that is in the very center of Idiotic Europe

Sapio et excrucior
I know and it is FUCKING EXCRUCIATING
And usually these fucktards don't invest truly in anything, so many Italians play with a low-cost internet connection and with a very bad temper.
Even in Italian vs Italian sometimes the lag reaches crazy peaks.
I usually disguise myself as British when in the same team as Italians, as they are able to start idiotic rants any time, with a more than awful accent.
And if they meet another Italian, well, heaven help us, sometimes hearing two Italians arguing, (as they accuse every time that it's the other's fault), is even worse than Russians arguing against Poles.

But I dare, I double dare you to fight against an Australian

Pro tip: unless you know how to properly Dragonball, you can't

AND THIS IS HIGHLY SURPRISING. :O


Being surrounded by idiots I highly doubt that Poland is not the part of the Idiotic Europe.
On the other side of things we have Russia... Belarus... Ukraine...

I kindly suggest changing the name of the entire continent to 'Idiocracy'.

Ukraine... Is that even a state anymore?
Belarus...BELARUS WILL ALWAYS BE FREE...as long as it has its potatoes
Russia... Do you mean THE GREAT LAND OF GREAT GREATNESS WHERE THE GREAT LEADER GREAT PUTIN GREATLY PREPARES TO FUCK THE "GREAT" EUROPEAN ECONOMY AND TO LET EU SELF MUTILATE WITH ITS "GREAT" FOREIGN POLICIES?

Notice the great color red, of the great greatness

About foreign policies, I know that Hungary (smart bastards) have made an anti-refugee wall, Germany is a living hell, same for Sweden, Western Europe is drowning in general in *cough cough* cultural enrichment *COUGH COUGH*.
But what about Poland?

And there's a high probability that this thread will be either blocked or moved to the pit and will be renamed "Express your frustration against the current political situation"

I highly hope for its eventual moving, it'd be a pity for this to be blocked
