Want to double research speed

Hello, I've been playing Distant Stars with Rebellion and I really enjoy the fast research times but at certain points in the game (usually at the exact same time) I get a minidump and CTD. I figured I'd just get some graphical mods and hope to find a way to speed up research with maybe a small tweak?

 

Thanks!

You can cure the minidump problem completely by googling "large address aware" and imstalling it for SOASE.  I haven't had one sisnce I did that.

unfortunately the large address aware can CAUSE crashes in the operating system (unless you are using a 64 bit OS) and also in the applications, so the best means of improving the stability of the sins game is to LOWER the graphical settings from highest to medium or lower depending upon how muh RAM is in the system and how large a map you want to play on (the lower graphical settings also has a sideeffect of helping to speed up the game engine a bit by giving less detail to be calculated for EACH of the MANY thousands of ships, strikecraft, planets and asteriods that are continiously worked with each game 'tick'.
