Woohoo!  Glad indeed to see the improvement.  And yeah, the CPU side of that is always going to be a huge hog, because the number of calculations in play are insane.  But it's no longer getting held up by the bus to the GPU, or by artificial timing misfires.

Might be coincidence, might not be, but the issue I had with images taking forever to load (necessitating the "preload all images" option) seems to have disappeared. I've cleared the option for now and will pipe up if it comes back.

Optimizations aren't often a sexy thing, but congrats on knocking this one out Arcen! Just because a game is sprite-based is no reason for it to abuse a hardworking CPU!

And slow image loading is back, no idea why. Everything else is fine from what I can tell, carry on.

Sigh, super odd.  There haven't been any code changes or releases since your last post, I don't believe.  So it's just something transient on your system, I guess.

Yeah, I'll keep an eyeball on it, and let you fine folks know if I figure it out

BTW: The tooltip text for mk4 turret still says that it's per planet cap rather than per galaxy that it really is...

Widow mine description says "Will heavy damage" instead of "Will take heavy damage". Also chat is still buggy.
