If you are getting from 200kbps to 600kbps while downloading some random files then your slow connection speed to n-ice might be caused by beign passed through a server that got very slow speed. Changing your DNS might help. Try changing your DNS to google ones which are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. If this wont help then I'm afraid you are stuck with bad connection to the openttd servers (there is a chance that some other DNS services might give you better route to connect with n-ice but unfortunately you would have to find and test those yourself).

Suggestions / Re: [Poll] Competition on secondary industries

« on: May 18, 2013, 07:08:27 pm »

I would like for funded industries to be private. It kills the fun when on server 3 you fund a bunch of lumber mills just to see someone almost instantly building a station near them before they even started producing resources. Most of the time I have no problems with competing for resources but in lumber mill case it is slightly frustrating, especially if you are winning by big margin and someone just slows you down.

I agree with alex that 1024x1024 would be best for map with so many new industries. As for goal I would like to see another version of short goal (something like 60 mil value and 800 rating). Also it would be super cool if with every server restart it would switch map type between: temperate -> arctic -> desert.

mh, i was hoping that a common picture would form here about which server to convert to FIRS. however, it doesn't really seem that this happens. my gut feeling tells me that it would make sense to simply take the server that is currently the least "successful" one (by looking at the average player count it has). that should be server 1.
it's no goal server, which is probably the reason why it doesn't attract as many players as the other servers. so maybe we should convert this one to FIRS and also make it a goal server (as suggested by alex before)?

It shouldnt hurt to do that, if almost no one plays on 1 then there shouldnt be any bad feelings. Also you could "temporarily" convert 1 to FIRS to check how much attention it would get.

I would love to see FIRS server from n-ice team! My friend once set up server with FIRS and I was really impressed by those new factories and so many new production chains. I would definitely play on your FIRS server.
