I tried multiplayer several times now but I'm very disappointed. The problem
is even if I connect to a low-ping server (cable here) the combat is so
jumpy that it takes 10 times as long to kill an enemy than it normally
should, plus it's very disconcerning seeing an enemy in front of you warp
completely out of sight. Very disappointing, makes it pretty much useless.

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the
Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost
in time, like tears in rain..."
