Im sure this has been reported a few times but over 1/2 who are in space i cant actually see and this seems to be an ever increasing problem. I cant even see one of my faction members which is even more awkward.

Ok why am i the only one who gets this problem as bad as i do ? Seriously i see no one else with it as bad or if all. Just now i saw Blackhat in the system who told me there was about 5 other people including Mishka and Lensman, out of them all i saw only Black.. Its only been up until recently that its got so bad.. Like the fact that i cant see my old BG members Smurfy or Mishka and i used to be able to, alot of my own faction i cant see aswell, i know this is an old bug but it just seems to be getting worse for me. I see Blackhat fighting or i hear about attacks on SR and most of the time i cant do anything about it because i cant see the guy who we are going to kill. I know this just seems like im moaning about a bug thats already been mentioned but im simply saying if you get any spare time Mit please look into it for me, thanks.

Yeah i thought that but when it comes to my knowledge on computers i know very little so i havent a clue what it could be. I had an idea that it could be to do with my brother using a seperate account on the same IP but even still im not sure about that either, i dont think he gets the same problems as me but then again i dont think he takes much notice of space at all.

not at all. its a bug thats been around since space started and was fixed for most people as of a patch or two ago.

Seems that it fixed a few people but i and others still seem to have the problem.

I suppose it depends on who your connecting to, it's probably the way the game connects players together. Without a total revamp, i doubt it'll be fixed anytime soon.

uPnP support has been added in client 0.55.0, which should resolve many of the cases where a user's router or firewall does not allow them to appear in space. (i.e. Doesn't allow them a direct p2p connection to other users).
It won't fully resolve the problem, but it should make it a lot less frequent.
