I've had the same problem for quite a while now. I've tried everything you have with the same luck. :(

some would argue casinos are in fact daycare centers for parents.

well.... I was going to build more life boats but then I wouldn't have enough room for my casino and entertainment district which takes about 70% of the ship's capacity. All those colonist need something to do on their long journey to that planet across the map that will likely get taken by some other civ just two sectors shy of arriving. i'm designing my next ship with extra daycare centers so parents can spend even longer days away from their children :) anyone have other ideas?

thnx! it did take a wee longer than i originally planned, boy did i learn to have patience! i basically gave up on adding more parts after it took 3 minutes for a new part to be added to a hard point and my memory ussage started getting passed 85% with just one ship on the screen. My games started taking longer to load too, around 7 minutes to start if I get to the point where I can start using this particular ship template. And when I did finally get to use the ship in the game, gamep

One of the first ships I made. At this point I had no idea that you could resize the components, so here's a ship with components all at default size. I'm currently working on a much bigger design with just about everything resized. After I discovered the slider size tool thingy I went totally crazy with it.[img]http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/5642/masteroverlordzn7.jpg[/img]

I have the same problem except turning off enhanced rendering or any other options under video performance don't seem to have any effect after a certain amount of components are added. rig specs: AMD x2 5200 (2.6Ghz) 2GB Corsair XMS2 Dominator PC2 6400 Geforce 8800 GTX Ultra

I have the same problem, there seems to be a ceiling or max # of components that I am able to place on my ship before components start to turn invisible or weird stretching lines running across the ship. I tried turning off mixed vertex processing but doesn't seem to have any effect. I first thought it was a memory issue but the game won't even utilize all 2 gigs of my system memory at any given time. At most I reach 75% memory usage and both cores of my cpu are always under 50% load. I have an
