Cloaking structors = server tickrate drop

  Good pickup, might explain why 40 minute games (3 hives = shades all over) = low tickrate

  When you say it drops from 32 tickrate, it sounds like there is already a problem.

  +1! Max is 30 and above that indicates errors.
  
  How frequently are you restarting your servers (I think your setup video showed you doing it once a day?) and what are you doing to prevent the server sitting empty on the same map for more than four hours (beyond this causes tick problems until a restart, after 6-8 hours you'll even see a permanent tick drop until reboot!).

  I meant 30 tickrate. :)
  
  Just play a game and put it cloaking in your two hive bases and other places around the map and you probably notice it to :/

  I didn't mean to detract from what you were saying, i've been playing around and looking at the perf logs and you're right, heavy cloaking of entities does tend to degrade tick (drifters, as always, being a much bigger strain than anything else).
