Powerhog, that kind of thing sounds more like a network problem than a desktop problem.  Not much you can do, I'm afraid, except report it to HTC and let them pester the network nabobs.  Sorry, wish I had better news for you.

Yes alot of axis were discoed. And then told they could not reup because there was a chance they may have been shot down by enemy.... The server was having network problems. So why no reup for those dropped?

Been the rule for many years. No reup's past the 30 minute mark. Several reasons why, but one is after the 30 minute mark sides start engaging each other. Some FSO's have 2nd lives and the Setup CM has to be ready to open and close fields for those with a 2nd life. If he was tasked to deal with discos for the full 2 hours (on top of all he does already) it can make for a full plate.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
