    My framerate nearly doubled around large structures with this update! There is some flickering around the edges of the screen when I turn quickly though.

    It's a tool to give objects an input for other objects so it's pretty versatile ^^[DOUBLEPOST=1410301102,1410301063][/DOUBLEPOST]

    aye, that's a little bit of the backslash from occlusion culling. I'll try my best to improve it

    i do have a small problem,before this update i could run starmade with 256MB VBO,2048 procedural background,124x textures etc.
    now if i have more than 4 MB VBO,1024 proc. backg. or 64x textures.. i crash gl_out_of_memory

    EDIT* but the good news is that i have 3x more frames hah

    Woohoo! Been waiting for this update for 1 year and 2 months exactly! I am thoroughly satisfied with this update, and the way warpgates and such work. I just hope that people actually see the potential and turn warp gates into trade hubs and such! Here's hoping that next update brings some improvements with ship-based AI -- I want to be able to remotely give orders to drones and such. Also, rotatable docking ports? Sometime this year? Pleeeeeeaaaaase?

    also does it still work when shutting occlusion culling off, and then in another attempt starting the game with that option?

    ok, if not, please try to contact me via email. this has to be figured out[DOUBLEPOST=1410302221,1410302171][/DOUBLEPOST]
    Definently one of the best updates, after testing the warp drives/gates i can't stop using them just to watch the effect.
    try pushing an empty ship to a gate ^^ (or engage warp and exit the ship)[DOUBLEPOST=1410302252][/DOUBLEPOST]also the full effect isnt completely done ^^

    realistic is a bit behind it. because there are big changes coming this texture pack will probably be deprecated. sorry :([DOUBLEPOST=1410302604,1410302522][/DOUBLEPOST]

    In a way I remeber playing Final Fantasy 7 in that regard. Even the coolest effects gets kind of boring after a while, so I'm trying to make it take less time.

    Well, maybe we can change the duration of the effect in the config if we want/ use custom effects in the future?

    unfortunately that would not work. as the beam wouldn't know if you are selecting or marking a ship
