i noticed this as well, however i alt+tab out then back in and my framerate returns to normal. using xp sp 2 and an 7800 nvidia card.

This..is why i put 50 turrets surrounding my planets, and 100 fighters..with lasers. Erm ok so the defense isnt great, no big deal, when the mod tools come out then you can mod yourself into a defensive grid that nobody could survive. Might be a bit boring afterwards though. *doh*.

guys, i wouldnt argue or worry or flame each other over spores release date. Until you see it on the publishers site (release date) then everything else is hot air. the latest vid [link="http://blip.tv/file/652152"]WWW Link[/link] shows quite a bit of improvements to the game, whenever it comes out it will be worth the wait.

I admit it would be nice to see some sort of variable weapons or extra shield options on our ships but this will require some major recoding of the game, which i doubt is on anyones table at stardock. Now maybe in the future we can add in a MOD with new ships, or something to do with a variable weapon layout/system for the original ships, but we will just have to see what the mod tools look like, they may not allow model import or exports. Ya never know. Id suggest looking in
