Hey Zup,

Big fan of Elite here! Making the best of things in spite of the lag. Ugh.

I just remembered this issue that popped up 2+ years ago and was wondering if there could be a correlation between the squad rank calculations and lag.

(From a locked thread in announcements 2years, 2 weeks ago)

You must have noticed that the game is slow to a point of looking like a snail with arthritis today. There are several reasons, due to many people on vacation and playing at the same time, the servers are saturated.

I also found out that about half the power of the servers go into calculating one single task: the ranking.

Therefore, I'm going to change the ranking system to be calculated every few hours instead of real time. This should really help speed up everything.

It's 1 am in here, so give me til tomorrow because I don't want to send out code to the server when I'm sleep deprived.
