Keep in mind that, along with your free space, you also have to consider file size. A lot of small files will defrag a lot quicker than if you have many very large files. I have many movies and tv shows that are in the 2-8GB range, and they can take a very long time to defrag - especially if you are rather low on free space.

[quote who="SithLordAJ" reply="103" id="3015325"] It's infinite when it has a wave function. When it doesnt, there is a single possibily. There is no both. It is one or the other at any point in time. .[/quote] Analog is infinite, digital is finite. That is why phonograph records and tapes will always be superior to CD/DVD's. Too bad the latest generation has no experience with analog realities. With each 'advancement' of technology that move

Killergold88, why the heck are you playing the game with a resolution of 1024 x 768, while your desktop resolution is set to 1600 x 900? Playing the game at such a low res, and in a different aspect ratio, has been known to cause problems. Also, what other programs are running? In your first debug you are using 334 MB of RAM when you start the game, and in the second 780 MB.

It's better to first design the basic ship and save it as a template. Then use the template ship when adding weapons and other components, and save it with a unique ship name. The particular ship you made for one game might not be available in new games untill all the components are researched, but as long as you have researched the required hull the templates will be.

The ship hulls are in the Mods\(your mod)\Data\ShipComponents folder. Each of the ship types should have its own .xml file, so all you have to do is remove the hull types you don't want. If you want to get them into the 'unmodded' game it is more difficult. You would have to find all the model files and associated graphic files for each hull and copy them into the games GFX folder. Then you would need to copy the hull .xml file into the correct folder. Much

Yes, one more thing that can free up the base memory the game uses. In Options - Video, turn down the 'Planet Surface Variety' slider to around 15-20%. One other thing that might help is to set a static swap file in Windows. It defaults to a dynamic swap file, which is supposed to grow as needed. Doesn't always work correctly with all programs, so sometimes it is best to just set it manually to a set size. Right-click on the My Computer icon (desktop) and c

Software. You have plenty of RAM, but as the game is 32-bit it can only use up to 2GB. The largest galaxy sizes can eat a lot of RAM, especially if you also include many civs. It'll get to the point that the game is using so much there is not enough left to save the game. Also, mods like ST have some nice ship designs which also use a lot of RAM once they are loaded into memory - which happens the first time you go into the ship buildier in each session. The more hulls you

638 GB of free memory? You do realize that the 'memory' the game is referring to is RAM, right? Not hard drive space. Apples and oranges.

You don't need defenses on an econ starbase that is meant to boost trade income. They are a waste. It only takes 4 constructors to build and upgrade the base, if you only install the trading modules. So, it only takes 4 to replace it. But if you go hog wild and put all 30-something modules on it, it will be more expensive by far in both time and resources. And by mid-game, a fully outfitted starbase is no match for a decent fleet.

Maybe it had already been registered by a previous person when you purchased it. That's been known to happen. I'm not sure if you would get that particular message, or one saying that it was already registered.

Well, that sucks. I am an OTR trucker. I downloaded it yesterday during a short break, but didn't try to install it until today. Alas, it could only be installed during the givaway period.
