EvE is broken, plain an simple. Throwing hardware at it won't fix it, turning off model rendering won't fix it, closing subs won't fix it, and lowering fleet sizes won't fix it.
There is something seriously wrong in the code that is causing these problems, and until that is addressed, throwing more and more features on top of bad code will only make it harder to track down and fix.
Why wouldnt new hardware or the ability to turn off model rendering fix the problem? Maybe there is something seriously wrong with the code. Or maybe eve just has more players than it used to and the servers are overloaded. Rendering 200+ ships in an instant has to be very stressfull for any server. You are probably right that there may be additional problems in the code in recent months. However there has always been lag in big fleet fights because the servers cant properly process that much at one time. Why shouldnt CCP give its customers the choice not to process models if it helps? Do you really think processing model rendering during big fights has nothing to do with the lag/crashing of big fleets?
Pardon me for being a noob here, but how will turning off model rendering actually graphic wise? Explain model rendering to me plz ;)
However, if it reduces lag considerably i for one supports this. I agree with pershphanie  Reducing lag should be CCPs primary goal atm. Implementing new mods and ships and other features doesnt matter atm. At least not for me :) We managed without all the hot T2 ships before and i think we can manage a bit longer without the new features. However, lag we cant manage. Titans, dreads, carriers and motherships. All this is implemented for major warfare. Major warfare = big number of players. You cant expect large alliances to reduce amount of pilots in their gang just to adapt to the servers. It wont work.
Even with 50 vs 50 in a system it lags. And you will still have 150-200 pilots in the neighbour system waiting for their turn. Nodes will crash no matter what with the current state of servers.
Now plz do something about it CCP. At least have the dignity to respond to these threads. It is a major problem. Dont turn the blind eye to the community.
