Mined Asteroids Explode
Named Ore
New Sounds
NoDockNavBeacon
Patch Spider Graphic replacement
RickRoll
Rocky
Stellifer Graphics
UG Wingmen
Visible Damage
Stargate Dock N'Go

Here are the ones I want to add:
AutoGate
Lockable Crates <--- from the sdw pack
Slaver Pack 912
Utility Items
Weapons Labs
Crystal Clear Iocrym
400+ New Weapons
Gravity
Throwable Shield Generator
Mining Pack v1.04
WE4
Dynamic Systems
Playership Drones
The Network
Cargo Summary

Also, note that I didn't say "perma" in the title, so please, everybody join or at least take a turn!

This is a bad idea.
This isn't going to work with the updated Ventari. Ionization is not damage.

If you're talking I hope that you'll also take part in the succession.

I'm still wanting Empty Wrecks Explode and something with a scuttle button. Especially if we're using a bigger galaxy. Compact the savefile a bit .

Perfect:)

We currently have serious problems with playability, thanks mostly to the insane performance drop-off when using this many mods. I'd suggest we cut the mods to 3-5. They can be any mods, but no more than 3-5. Otherwise we're just asking for trouble. Right now autopilot is nearly impossible to use on my computer and I have serious worries for the endgame. We can live without some stuff. As an absolute minimum we can always just use Captains Log....but if stuff needs adding, that's fine by me. Just keep it down to something that'll run on everyone's computers.

[Atarlost]

Cut Gravity. It's going to be one of the biggest CPU hogs for not a lot of gain.

[sdw195]

if we kept it short, i could make you a tdb file with all the mods in for your next game

[Atarlost]

The real killer is repeating events on lots of objects or with enumeration in them. Gravity has to repeat frequently to not look jerky and has to enumerate over everything ship/station scale in the system for every attractor. It's also doing vector math which while in the compiled code is one of the slower operations you can ask a computer to do.

WE is a little better, though it's another "enumerate over lots of stuff repeatedly" mod. It mostly lags at system start and for Dwarg swarms because most of the time it just checks one flag on each ship.

Visible Damage I'm not familiar with, but I suspect it either globally hooks to onDamage, which is a very frequent event, or once again has repeating enumeration or enumeration events on all ships.

Asteroid Scanner enumerates over nearby asteroids in a recurring event. Depending on the range of the scanner that might be an issue.

Playership Drones increases game loading time (when starting the game). On a newer computer, the time increase is a second or two, not very noticeable. On older computers, it takes several seconds.

EDIT: Playership Drones includes scuttling.

[PM]

Named Ore may also be a resource hog. It updates the name of each ore at *EVERY* frame. It has to or else the names do not move smoothly with moving ore.

I was not trying to quirk Playership drones : I just saw a post and responded with the least intrusive extension I know of :
I use the drones in my personal games : i have the Antares self upgrading it only killed me once... I can forgive that:)

[Xephyr]

The Network. Or Long Way to Go.

Also let's use the hornet battlepod as a playership.
