I will try to make this as professional and coherent as possible. Please be patient, because it aggravates the living hell out of and I've complained about it(privately) for awhile now.

During PC matches, we have enemy players with dropships midfield before half of our own team even loads into the game. This can only be attributed to a high-speed internet connection and solid state HD and provides an unfair advantage to these players.

CCP, this is what you need to do to fix the issue. If anything, in PC matches to start. Program a 15 second game delay for all players. Other mainstream games do it...I have faith you can, too. This will allow all systems to load the needed data and it will level the playing field for both teams. It is absolutely ridiculous that one force can have troops at a mid-field objective before 15 of the opposing players even see the initial deployment screen.

Funniest. Thread. Ever.

Dropping an Orbital Strike when a PC starts is fair, right?
Using BPO and saving ton's of ISK if fair, right?
Buying AUR items is not punished neighter restricted AFAIK. Right?
Are you living in a third world country? Are you going to blame God for that?

Suggestions is right HERE

Are they preventing you to go buy an SSD at your local store?
Are they preventing you from getting higher internet speed?

Once upon a time a mercenary bought a Ferrari with his own efforts he managed to pay for it but suddenly everybody felt entitled to either get a free Ferrari or to have the mercenary's Ferrari in the junkyard... interpret it as you wish

I was looking at how an SSD works compared to a regular hard drive and realized that there is no fix for this (not that this is a problem).
Regardless of the spawn timer, the SSD will allow people to spawn in sooner because their game will load faster. The more recent games use the hard drive as additional temp storage along with the RAM. Being able to read from the drive quicker (the way an SSD allows) makes everything run a lot smoother. Especially since this game runs purely off the hard drive.

I hope im not talking out of my a$$ here, but thats how I understand it.

the fix is to delay the game so that all players can finish loading then the ability to spawn comes in

Additionally, the time to play time is already pretty long, imo. From boot to shoot but really you should be grateful that you don't even have to sit in the warbarge anymore. That in itself was a great change that was made.

Is there a specific game mode that you find this more problematic?
