I ONLY play insane map size and I don't plan on ever going back to a smaller size. I shouldn't have to have 32 flowery gigs of ram to play the way I want to play. Don't give me this potato of "oh, well just play on smaller maps" If they added those map sizes, it should be optimized for those map settings This is exactly why I didn't want to respond to the support rep, your missing the god damn point by throwing a red herring with this "get better ram!" or, "Pla

And stardock can only help me if they keep trying to optimize the game, so getting specific seemed pointless
Bahh very well. I'll play your little game... Look the performance and stability issues in general are a huge problem. Once the map gets populated, the gameplay slows to a crawl, navigating the map, saving, taking a turn (though hopefully 1.3 fixes THAT issue) going into a shipyard, doing ANYTHING, my memory usage is pretty much always at 97% it all feels like molasses is in the processor. Also, I shouldn't have to deal with crashes when I'm trying to SAVE THE GAME. &
Let's not sit here and pretend you don't know what the issue is...
Need I say more? plz no fanatic fanboy defending, I don't care who you are, you can't tell me that the stability in this game is acceptable, we shouldn't be expected to have grade A rig's for this shit to work.

AH! Reduced number of habitable planets! I've been playing the insane map size and don't plan to EVER go back to another map size, and that's JUST what it needed. I hated when I put the habitable planets on rare I would still find a SHIT TON. It just slows the game down to a crawl as you have to sped a ridiculous amount of time colonizing new planets before you got into the meat of the game. Keep up the large map balance, I'll fire up a new game and see how it's improved.
Just giving feedback on my experience playing the insane map size. First off, I can't play it anymore because every time I try and load that game, it crashes shortly after the load screen gives way to the map. The game seems to have a difficult time processing everything on the map. I was preparing for war, my ships lining up at their borders, preparing for the slaughter to come, but as I built up ships, it became harder and harder for the game to stabilize. I want to play this game so so
