So, here's an interesting update. Last night I removed all the engines from the generator banks, and the ammo from all the turrets.
I then shut down the game, and removed the power.dat file. I restarted the game, and my friend from PA logged on.
The ping was normal (95) and I installed all the engines (30) back into the generator banks. Without wiring, I decided to be procedural about debugging the cause, so I fired up the generators with no wiring. Interestingly, the ping did go up to about 300, then fluctuated, and slowly came down to a little over 100.
I wired up 1/3 of the turrets, with the generators off, and the ping was normal; maybe just slightly high.
BUT, as I turned on each generator, the ping went higher and higher. With the first generator on, it went to around 1,500. When the second one was turned on, the ping went to around 5,500. With the third one on, the ping was slowly climbing, and I shut everything off and called it quits when the ping was over 20k, as my friend was lagging so far behind, he couldn't effectively wire anything further.
If you have any ideas for debugging on my end (software tools, logging tools) I'd be willing to do some legwork to help sort it out.
I could just delete the region and start over, but I suspect it will happen to others, who may be unable, or unwilling to take the time to report it.
As always, thanks for the time to help, I'd imagine you're spread thinly playing whack-a-mole with issues like mine.
