Title: Consider
Post by: tiqhud on September 04, 2010, 09:25:09 AM


Ok let us say you have a planetary system, with one planet [38 kb nif] with [1kb tga]
it has two Akiras [236 kb nif] with [five* 4097kb tga]], then two nebulas [[230kb nif] with [five*4097kb tga] then
two Ambassadors [207kb nif] with [four* 4097kb tga] thats just ships and planet, now the Nebula [3037kb]
starfield [256kb], sun [257kb], not even counting your ship.

 that is 41442kb for Akiras,  41430kb for nebulas,33190kb for ambassadors +3037kb+256kb+257kb+38+1= 119651kb
 [if I calacuted right ]

Many of the newer ships , Only come with textures [tga-s] in the HUDE , ultradetailed range [16385kb]


Oh one has got to account for py files for the New ship you are running, the Game {BC} must take some memory to compile
the information, contained in the PY files.

Oh one also need to take into account "What Bridge do you use?" , some Bridges are small [use less memory] while
some are Large [use much memory]

An observation, from my system, I have lost the ability to teleport because of over extended memory , and or
shuttle launch ability, because not enough memory to load all the required files for said shuttle.

And have also noticed while a ship, you run for the first time, may not have all you want or is described, try running
that ship agian, the game {BC} has compiled the PYs and it ought to run smoother.

To be honest with you from programmers point of view Memory is cheap nowadays.

And BC is also an Activision product, and their games seem to have tendency to suffer from memory leaks.  :bitch:

Activision is just a publisher.
