Are there any new technologies you're working with that are going to allow you a better game for everyone with the average system, or are you expecting only the most serious gamers with high end towers?asked by Sgt. 19Delta

We are definitely focused on building the game with the features which means that some of our optimization work hasn't happened yet. We do occasional optimization but I think people will have seen sort of from 2.0 to 2.1 and even from 2.1 to 2.1.1 which just went live. That there's been some optimization work so the framerate better, the game is a bit more stable and in fact on the older machines or even machines with less cores, the game performs much a lot better where it was performing badly before.We do do ongoing optimization work as we go along there's various parts of the game that are not as optimized as they should be like UI, which is a pretty bad culprit, also working heavily on the LOD of the ships and the graphic and ? team are constantly doing things that they think will increase performance but we'll really nail a lot of that down the road when we're much more feature complete on everything we want to do. The goal will be to mid-level machines be able to play the game, not just super high end ones, though high-end ones now are pretty good right now are pretty good for getting it to look as good as possible and run it at a decent frame rate.
