That is not the GUI lag I mean.. I mean for example, what happens when you press on create fleet (delay) or click on research (delay) or the battle reports. All these subsystems are not kept in memory, and I have 16GB Ram. There is absolutely no excuse for GUI lag (I don't mean the first-load lag, I mean recurring, and worsening delays for GUI actions over long gameplay periods)

Doesn't mean it's a crappy game, does it? It's just one of the warts.

I'm with you on munitions and armor boosting lines, but explosions? I don't think I could ever be convinced to turn off explosions.

I think explosions started causing lag after some patch. No idea what patch it was.
The "Enhanced Edition" and extra content just came out for it, so I re-installed. Haven't gotten very far yet, but so far it's definitely as enjoyable as the first one was. Everything seems to be there and working and the UI doesn't suck quite as bad anymore.
