I am not very techy so I have a question for those that are. What is the best way to reduce LAG? I have decent internet and even hardwired my system instead if using WIFI. I uninstall the game and saved files occasionally as well. I just keep getting my ass handed to me lately because of lag issues. Can some one lend a hand?

Are you talking about network latency or low frames per second?
Edit: I.e rubber-banding or slide show?

Frames per second

I'm probably the last person who should comment on this kind of thread, as I have never experienced frame rate problems personally. Rubber banding, Yes. low FPS, No.

With that said, there are a few things that can be done (which have been stated in other threads):

In game:
- Reduce chat channels
- Reduce contact list
- Remove e-mails (no longer applicable since the game will wipe all mails over 30 days)
- Reduce number of Loadouts
- Cleanup your inventory (sell of all the junk you never use, or trade it)

PS3 generic:
- Keep good ventilation around your PS3
- Defrag your HDD
- Uninstall / Reinstall Dust.
- Make sure you have not filled your HDD, or have very little space left.

These are just a few points which I believe helps (note: not fix) the problems.

Personally I tend to keep my merc quarters very tidy. I sold off assets for 20 mil to the vendor at one point, and with Warlords and the warbarge your inventory will increase more rapidly than before. I only have a few chat channels on at any time, and clean my e-mail almost daily (delete all is a lovely feature). I also installed a Seagate Momentus XT 750Gb hybrid drive with 8Gb of SSD. The drive is also 7500rpm.

As stated, I never get FPS issues. Even in the supposedly dreaded Gallente "lag" facility.

Hope that helps

Honestly I would go for a hybrid drive since it gives the best performance for your buck.
The PS3 only have a SATA-1 interface, so it's no use to go overboard with SATA-III (even if they are compatible)

Just make sure it has at least 8GB of SSD.

As stated before, I have the Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB which is quite old right now, but it works like a sharm.

You can probably pick up a used one for almost nothing.

So is that an external drive or is does it go where you would be replacing the PS3 drive? I guess I can youtube it.

Frames per second and rendering into the spawn in.

It's a internal 2.5" drive which replaces the current drive.
