I wasn't referring particularly on the player side of the hardware problem.

531 hours to reach the JPG star!
Hutton Orbital eat your heart out!
And remember, distances in SC are scaled down 10x!!!
Amazing how they did it without a bug causing them to respawn at a port as well!
A reminder that your performance outstrips the telemetry page by a fair whack Intrepid, and may not be the average experience.
According to that page the closest GPU / CPU build listed (slightly better GPU build there) on 1440P averages 43fps
The telemetry page is probably being affected by SC hating goons that have accounts. They spawn where ever the performance is worst (probably New Babbage) and server hop until they find a particularly bad server. Then they sit in that bad server as long as they can to drag the averages down on the telemetry page.
I checked the schedule. It's not your day to be Derek.
Apparently it's mine, and this July blog isn't going to write itself.

Haven’t seen @Asp Explorer for a bit, that’s probably it
The 3 mains problems with disks are :
1 - game MUST be installed on SSD
2 - pagefile is needed and MUST be installed on SSD
3 - your total memory size (RAM+pagefile) MUST be at least 40Go because SC is HUGE on memory
If one of those points is not valid, you get crap FPS. The point 1 is well known by everybody. The points 2 & 3 are not so well known and are as importants that point 1.
For the ones having crap FPS with the game isntalled on SSD, the main reasons are often :
- windows + pagefile on first disk HDD and game on SSD because the SSD has been added only as second disk without moving windows and it's pagefile on it. Pagefile is slow = crap FPS
- disk where the pagefile is is full so the pagefile can't work. Pagefile not working = crap FPS
- windows without pagefile because the guy have read somewhere that pagefile was not useful for windows with 16Go of memory and should be disabled. Pagefile absent = crap FPS

0.6 Scale, so a bit over half scale, that distance is still with in scale tho, they give you the distance, 2.2M KM at about 1KM/s maximum cruse speed, 531 Hours, so that's about right.
1,000m X 60 Seconds = 60KM X 60 Minutes = 3,600KM X 531 Hours = 1,911,600KM, they were probably doing about 1100M/s
Edit yes its just a giant ball of light, its a placeholder, like Crusader is / was.

Which is because the "high end" has advanced through multiple generations of CPUs, GPUs and chipsets in the last few years, while SC development has all but stood still.

Goons are to blame for everything though.
Yes, we know what causes bad performance when the PC is at fault. However, its not always the cause, as confirmed by CIG themselves on multiple occasions.
The point being, there are some backers who always blame the hardware, even when it is known other factors relating to the game itself that can cause performance issues, even when people have beast machines. This can vary from patch to patch of course.

Tier 0 is the correct term
Can you really say that with a straight face? from Port Olisar to Grim Hex to Levski to Loreville to Area 18 to New Babbage to Orison.
From a single space station orbiting an inaccessible Gas Giant to 3 fully accessible planets complete with large cities sprawling many KM, 14 fully accessible moons, many different biome and climate variation, about 150 player usable ships ranging in size from 6 meters to 210 meters and days from now a Gas Giant made of Volumetric Clouds that has a huge city floating in it.
Edit: the graphics fidelity has also changed hugely over the years.
Just 109 more systems to go!
When Stanton is finished anyway. Remember Orison is still Tier 0! No whale tours yet! Answer the whale call!
I hope not, 100 is too many. quality over quantity.
lol wut?
The cities arent accessible. It's just like a texture. 150 flyable ships? Or just 150 jpgs? Days from now? We'll see about that. Something tells me it's just nollocks like Sq42 and the Tyler Napkin story of its progress.
Most of the buildings are empty shells with a small portion filled-out for player use, small being relative, the player usable areas in these cities are still huge.
I mean what is he comparing this to? EDO????
With 32Go memory (which I have), the pagefile is still used...
What I sometime see about this SSD problem is a new player having a small SSD + a big HDD (for all his games). He installs SC on his HDD (as usual) and get crap FPS. He get advice and move SC on his SSD. But, has the SSD is small and full, he free some space by deactivating the pagefile... and get slightly better crap FPS.
