Performance varies. with the planet, station and Icanus (18k polygons total) I get around 30fps. Lowest I got was 15 with the Nemesis, Icanus and several other destroyers in the docks too. You can see some fps counts in the shots.



What is your FPS count with nothing on the screen (usually)?

120 usually 90-120 sometimes with nebulas.

That is one hell of a performance hit.

Not as bad as some ships we have with 14+ maps...

What happens if you blow up something that doesn't have debris?

It vanishes, which for a 40km station would look very stuipid.

I didn't make debris for it on purpose since the explosion from this thing would take out everything in the area.

That looks amazing, you should be really proud Woo. I used to dream of stations like that being in FS, but decided that they would crash the engine. The inside pic reminds me of a starbase on Star Trek.

I must be said that the grey hull texturing looks really repetitive, but i suppose it can't be helped.

The more repeats the better it looks up close, but the worse it looks from afar, since it'll mostly be used up close, it needed a lot of repeats.

Since it's 40km long it really needs a lot more detail and a lot more maps, but since the HTL system wouldn't like that I kept it at a reasonable amount.

Is that station actually going to be used in a mission (as in, we get to see it up close)?

Probably be a "Scan subsystems" mission. No way you could do a "protection" mission with it...unless you had a VERY fast fighter :lol:

If it was used in mission, the station would be mostly ignored, you'd probably be concentrating on the Icanus.

Yeah, but on most people's systems that would turn INF into a slideshow.

Because of the polycount? we have bigger models for polycount than that and they don't cause any problems. Even when there's a few of them on screen.

You just implied earlier that you get a massive performance hit when that thing is on screen.


EDIT: I'm also assuming you have a good computer.
