What system are you running? Are you running eve in fullscreen or windowed mode, what is the load on your gpu? I noticed that some people have issues running the game in fullscreen mode, the client stresses the gpu to 80 - 95% load, even just in the character selection screen.

Setting the game in "windowed" or "fixed windowed" mode, reduces the load to 45% percent.

This isn't a clientside issue.

It varies quite a bit, depending on server whim.

Switching graphics modes, dx9/dx11, fullscreen, windowed, aero, interval preset, GPU driver settings, etc has no effect on it other than the forementioned mood the server node happens to be in.

To elaborate, I can fly the same ship in one system and everything works perfectly fine (ie pre-scylla). I move one system over (no other variables have changed) and I freeze up 2 seconds every time my ammo count updates... and a full reload cycle locks me up for almost 5 seconds. I jump into the next system only drop ~10 frames on ammo count cycles and maybe 30 frames on a full reload. Move on to another system and problem is gone. Repeat ad nauseam with no apparent pattern, certainly doesn't seem clientside.
