Massive FPS lag?

[Phaden]

Since the new update (but for some reason not in beta) i and my outfit have been getting MASSIVE almost unplayable lag. I get a vanguard and dont even have one kill before i am blown up, because the gunner cannot see what he is getting pounded by. Just as a point of reference, i usually last upwards of 30 mins with vanguard. But even on foot, my FPS has dropped down to around 5ish whenever i am in any sort of battle. 3 days ago it was always at LEAST 25. Basically are you guys getting it on other empires or servers? Im on NC Emerald.
