A question about ping

SinceI'm experiencing major connection problems in fleet actions and sometimes in deep space encounters I ran a test of my connection and was shocked to find out that my average ping is 59. Can anyone please tell me if STO is playable with such a ping? BTW as far asI recall I played DDO with a ping around 100 but I might be wrong.

The other curious thing is that I tried the Starbase 24 fleet action with my Centaur ship and it played just fine?

    If your ping is only 59...you are in very very good shape. Anything under 100 ms ping is great. Now, you should also see if you are losing "packets" over the connection. While you may have a good ping...you may be experiencing packet loss. If that is not the case, then I would start looking at things like your video card, memory and such.

    OMG!! 59!!!! HOW SHOCKING.. try playing with a 250-400ms ping mate...

    I feel for you but can't quite reach you,,

    (Also forget about getting ping with /netgraph 1.. they disabled it)

    Hehe, I come from the times when I played Quake 1 on a 33k modem :)))))) the packet loss is minimal also. my problems started somewhere with the patch before the last one and I'm also getting the 'server not responding' message; anyway I'm so confused, why does the fleet action work if I fly a t1, t2 or t3 ship but it all falls apart with t4 and t5 cruisers. the other strange thing is that it plays ok for a couple of minutes but after that the only thing I can do is exit the game. :/ it's so similar to the dreded 'out of sync' message in duke3d. 10x for the answers though.
