Summary what happened :
Alright, so my friend and I are playing on a server, just made a planet our homebase.
Setting up the base as usual, built some ships, logged off.
Recently, I logged in on the server, but I was welcomed by a horrible 3 FPS gameplay.
I thought it was because of the changes I did (I downloaded a shadow mod, messed with some settings).
So, I reverted everything back, issue still persists.
Renamed the folder, then let the launcher redownload everything. Issue still persists.
Then, I attempted to play again, and got one of our ships. Suddenly, it stopped lagging. I got out, 3 FPS again.
I flew my big ship high up, no more lag. I was able to go to another planet and mine it.
I went back to base, landed my big ship. No lag. I exited the ship. 3 FPS again. I thought that this planet may have something 'stuck' in it that's causing lags. I undocked all ships, stopped all factories, still the same issue.
And finally, I flew a small ship, and landed it on the surface of the planet. No lag. I exited the ship again, but the planet's gravity hasn't affected me yet. So basically I was still floating on top of the small ship, no lag. Pressed space to correct my alignment, 3 FPS.
TL;DR :
I determined that when my character gets affected by the planet's gravity, the FPS drops down significantly.
This did not happen a few days after playing on the same server.
Gravity that's equipped on the ship (forgot the name) doesn't lag.
Station gravity doesn't lag.
Other planets does NOT lag.
That's the major problem I'm having right now. I might just relocate the base, but it's still baffling that this is happening.
Second issue : Flickering chunks / textures
This only occurs when I mine planets (50 salvage module beams x 9 beam missile support). After the beam stops, flickering chunks appear on the planet for a few seconds, then returns back to normal. It could be that it's updating all the chunks, but this did not happen before until I redownloaded all the Starmade files. (My starmade version was really really old, and I just used the launcher to update it)
When I'm also in build mode, the textures flicker when I delete blocks. Sometimes, the star also shows up when I align a block (block preview is enabled) on the star. Not sure if it's a known bug or not.
[DOUBLEPOST=1426576742,1426575173][/DOUBLEPOST]Screenshots :
Normal FPS when on ship near planet (lower fps than usual due to FRAPS)
Normal FPS when ship is on surface of the planet
Normal FPS when outside of ship, not aligned with planet yet
Very Low FPS when aligned in planet
Normal FPS on other planet (Fail landing)
Oh and the star visible when preview block is enabled.
