2.2.18.8 Dock Telemetry Update
Biggest change is the dock telemetry. We used to calculate the position once per frame based on an epoch and the orbital parameters. Now the server actually runs these calculations and progresses the orbit and synchronizes the epoch with the client when you log in! This was done to reduce slight precision errors we have seen develop over the last 15 years since the server was started. It also lightens the computational load that the client is responsible for!
