I should clarify what I'm specifically asking is if this is a good setup fleet of 9 ships (just go with me here) Three with beam weapons, but, each has a different defence. Three with missiles, but again, each with a different defence. And in short to have these 9 ship types flying around, maxed out on only one, coming in for the kill against particular units.
Would it be a good/bad idea to, for example, build a ship with Beam Weapons and Armour? Or Missiles and Mass Drivers, but only Shields? In effect, I'm wondering what the plusses and minuses are of mixing up your weapons and defences.
While I agree with all the individual points outlined, I fear as a whole, they lead to a game where you are racing around the map trying to do 20 things in 5 seconds. That's not the kind of game I want, and, again, while I agree with all the individual points presented, would be rather upset if too much development time were spent trying to turn the game from a marathon to a sprint.
Is there no way to delete the particular file for this particular SFX?
I'm tempted to buy one stick of 4G. How would this work out for me if I did this? I presume I should put it on slot 1, if so, should I remove what is in slot 3, or leave the 1G stick?

[quote who="Lucky Jack" reply="21" id="3515227"] When changing memory sticks to mixed sizes you MUST check with the mother board manufacturer for which slot to put which size. It often isn't intuitive. [/quote] Okay but where? When I google my motherboard I don't get a "where to plug in RAM" guide.
[quote who="Thecw" reply="17" id="3515131"] thenewteddy, Please specify your motherboard. Because you might be going the wrong way. As far as i recall the only (E8500 LGA775) motherboards that support DDR3 are the ones with the intel G41M chipset. If so then the following is very important: those motherboards (that i know of) use a co
After more playthroughs I am now convinced the problem is in fact related to certain things being on the page file. Is there any way I can tell my computer to use the paging file more sparingly? Also Curious for more info about RAM. Right now I have 4 slots. They look sort of like this, where X is a slot, and the -'s are just there to indicate space between.

it is DDR3 In addition, I paid close attention to my ram using resource monitor; I never got above 3. The game slowdowns were associated with a few things that I dealt with by... turning on quick move turning off autosave The only other slowdowns where when unique tiles were revealed, like crystals, or anomalies, etc.
I'm good with hardware, its affording the new ram that would be the problem. 6 I could afford; but likely not this month (that being january in terms of budgeting) but it feels wrong to just abandon two of my 1G sticks, as shouldn't I be able to sell them?
I'm unsure how you define destitute, but I have an after-rent income, monthly, of $536 Canadian. I also already have a 1G graphics card. I'm wondering if an upgrade to 5G of Ram would help. I could consider that. FTR I have a core 2 duo CPU E8500 @3.16G 4G of Ram 64 bit Win 7 and the aforementioned 1G Graphics card; which I mainly originally purchased so I could use a dual monitor setup.
A suggestion/feedback. More options for slower computers. I have exactly 4GB of ram and the game runs slow for me. I can run it, but it it slow. One of the first things I did was go in to the options to try and reduce things as much as possible; but there are not many options to reduce. Thus my suggestion is to add options that will have the game run better on slower computers Examples: always
