Yes, the long loading times of large databases can make the CL experience jarring, but if you check the Captain's Log thread, you'll see that the next version due to be released soon apparently fixes that problem by drastically reducing loading times. I can't wait as my current database is over 6000 systems, as you can imagine in it's current state CL takes a while to load that up. But you may want to keep an eye on the new version, with fixed loading times the main flaw of the program will be gone. Should be released soon.
Thanks, I'll look out for the new release & try it when I return from Beagle Point.
I had nearly 8000 systems in my database....it began to annoy me how slow it loaded & ran.
