I have an Acer Aspire, and anytime I get near enough to a planet for it to load, the FPS goes down to 2. However, if you stay in space, make a harvesting ship, get enough materials and credits to make a decent attack ship, and kill off a few pirates, you\'ll have enough loot to not need to worry about going to planets for resources. Unless, of course, you want to make a ship with a thousand plus blocks in it, then you may need a better computer. It\'s worth playing, even if your FPS stays around 20 instead of the 60 you see other peoples games running at.
