Hey Team,
Cryptic has identified the rubber-banding and have fixed it,
but that fix was a rollback of a previous fix of issues claiming your Tier 6-rep.

So they recommend that you don't claim your Tier 6 rep as of now. (Except for Ed that already has it)

Hey folks,

We've been looking into the lag and rubber banding issues in the game, and determined the cause. Unfortunately, the cause was a fix we'd put in place to fix an entirely different bug - that Captains were getting their skills invalidated by claiming Tier 6 reputations. Because the lag is a larger issue throughout the game, we've decided to remove the previous fix as of a few minutes ago. This means that until our next update, where we'll be instituting a fix that should solve both problems, you should avoid claiming a Tier 6 Reputation. We apologize for the inconvenience - the fact that these two things are even related is mind boggling, but that's coding for you.

Another trouble maker: Tier VI traits can not be slotted as Tier V versions are not deactiveted automagically. The solution is Drag & Drop!

Amazingly simple solution to the problem, Ed! (Now to get to Tier 6... but that's a different problem!)
