flew around in my orbit drake today - attacked a guy at a gate - the "approach" button was completely unresponsive.

And thats it.

Not the first time i see this happening - seems to coencide with previous orders given to "orbit" and once there, unacknowledgable to the reapproach function. I hadda chose the gate which he was orbiting in order to get near enough for a webbing ( aka, the issue is with other ships, not stationary objects ) but.. the issue is massive, and is basicly like driving with a steering wheel full of thorns, or worse, so plz fix.

it is possible some shortcut keys are being pressed by you without realizing what they are for, go to your shortcut key settings, and in the navigation tab, figure out if things like approach have a key binded, and if you could accidentally been pressing it while chatting, but you started your typing while the chat box did not have focus, etc..

I am thinking he is having the same issue a number of people are having. It is lag on the server.
Some reason lag has increased recently. Some people get dissconnected if the lag lasts long enough.
Others have none responsive EVE gaming. Multiple threads in general and here and all over EVE forums about this recent issue.

For me it mostly happens when I am doing a session change which involves loading a new local.
Then I get hit with lag. Also when I open the UI it lags while it gets market values of the contents of the open folder, even looting now has lag if there are a lot of items in the lootable object.

But I have also had lag hit while doing a mission. In the middle of combat I can be flying toward a target some 50 km away maybe out of range. The sceen shows range dropping at a constant rate suddenly I shift about 12 km from my last position.
Now why does that happen? I can only assume my client lost connection for a while and when it reestablished connection it gets an update on my position relative to where the server thinks I am and my client moves me.

Other people have lost conection right after their ship was killed. They spam the pod warp button but nothing happens for 17 seconds suddenly the client updates and they are dead. Pod killed. The server never took the command to warp the pod because of lag. Issues like this are happening all over EVE since the last update. I think the delay of the new update has been to fix this issue. Just a guess.

I've been unable to jump my ship when I press the jump button, it just sits there at the gate not jumping.

One thing I know is in eve. One press is not enough. I should be, but i rather be spamming my commands all the time than rely on the AI.

And yes, approach, orbit do from time do not respond.

let's hope they read this - the game pretty much stands and falls with this..

i can confirm this problem. i've noticed that after using 'keep at range' 'approach' button does nothing but if i do some other command like stopping the ship or doubleclicking in space first, 'approach' works again normally. somehow it feels like 'keep at range' and 'orbit' command just wont be directly overwritten by approach command.

i could replicate this by just using keep at range on acceleration gate and then trying to approach/jump it. It has also happened during pvp with ships.
