Is there anyway to lessen the delay in communicating with the server on satelite internet? i know they say it takes like a 1 second, or 1.5 second for communication but i seem to be having a full good 2 second delay if it cant be helped i wont play or ill deal..

Not without changing the laws of physics. 

 

You can't get acceptable performance playing RO (or any other online game) over satellite "internet" access.

yeah.. i thought as much oh well i guess

[DrAzzy]

Yeah, Satellite "internet" is not acceptable for most internet-based tasks.

 

If you can't tether through your phone and get a decent connection over 3G/4G, I'd recommend moving...

I think the maximum bandwidth from a satellite connection is 3 mbps.

[DrAzzy]

It's not bandwidth that's the problem. It's the latency (much if it from the 120ms (one way) it takes light to get to geostationary orbit)

Well said. Sending signals from earth to space then back to the RO server is not very practical.
