Increasing FPS rate (Works with max. settings) - Swallow - 12-09-2012

Just a hint.
The point is to put those values in perfoptions.ini
color_bpp= 16
depth_bpp= 16
The only drawback is that game will be looking a bit comics-like, though it gives two times more FPS (that is how I feel difference on my netbook) even at high resolution and maximum settings.
(I also reccomend to put Nebula value to 0.00 - 0.30. You`ll feel the difference in Newcastle. It is a part of "Space detail" option, so editing it separately would keep asteroids and sun rendering the same. Also you may like to put "Read only" flag at perfoptions.ini, so if you accidently change something you`ll need to re-enter the game so the saved options come back.)

It is also cheating.

Do you know the residual effects of the players who fight you from pushing your FPS?

On your side every thing will run smooth and clean, but to opponents you will "jitter" and "mini-warp" making you more and more impossible to hit, while you get smooth moving targets to aim at.

There are several players currently in the game abusing this.

He's lucky to get 30 FPS out of his laptop

Veygaar you seem a little buttmad.

'Ripping' only occurs if you push over the 180 fps barrier.

Easily detected ingame due to the insistent microwarps or screenshots due to the low quality (no nebulas, no trails, no starsphere).

Not that it matters in capitals. They have auto-aim already 8|

So is this now cheating or not? Because I'd love to try it on my netbook. And no - I never reach over 60 fps...

One side effect is windows does not like programs that use different bit-depth color palettes so you might have trouble with things like switching from full-screen to windowed mode or alt-tabbing through other programs

No, its not cheating unless you go way way up to 180+ FPS then its abusing game mechanics

And even for that you'll need a very top of the line rig.
