note the recommended game memory is 6gb and thus all maps should be able to play on that 

i could originally run insane on it now im down to meduimmap if they sell on this game on 6gb  as recommended they need to make sure the maps run on it other wise they need say on they sale page

I just don't like the hard locks. Am currently looking for a work around. 

This is just an intensive game.  I played with 4G ram for a long time before getting a new computer (for other reasons than just this game) and I understand the frustration, but the limitations are there because (and only because) you don't have enough resources for a larger galaxy.

I feel your pain.

System Requirements:

RECOMMENDED:

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
• OS: 64-bit Windows 10 / 8.x / 7
• Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor or Equivalent
• Memory: 6 GB RAM
• Graphics: 1 GB DirectX 10.1 Video Card
• DirectX: Version 10
• Network: Broadband Internet connection
• Storage: 15 GB available space
• Sound Card: DirectX Compatible Sound Card

As many many people have  mentioned this is the recommended system to play this game. Then when you boot it up you find out that this is a total fabrication (more than half the maps locked) and the game requires atleast 16gigs of Ram and 8 Core Processor to be able to play the game on any map size.  These req's need adjusting, its pure false advertising.
