botf game optimization
as im sure everyone knows, the more you progress in the game, i.e. turn wise, the longer each turn takes to complete. i have checked around the last few days (i am new to these forums) and have sadly discovered that there is no complete fix. i was therefore wondering if there was anything i could do to help combat this slowdown...any tips or tricks with my system that could help optimize game play. thanks!
Welcome to botf on behalf of all members,
Golden rule: The larger the galaxy, the worse the slowdown.
But normally everbody chooses a large galaxy as playground, and so do I.
Well, here is what I do when playing to prevent the game from lagging:
1. On the main galaxy screen, you can deselect some optional displays:
a) Deselct trade routes (signifcantly enhances game performance)
b) Also deselect system names (speeds turns up even more)
2. Also save your game once in a while (I do so about every 25 turns), quit it and reload it. You'll notice the difference.
I myself now do not have any more troubles as regards lagging until turn 500 or so. And I usually finish a game at turn 300.
Give it a try and let us know your results,

as I stumbled across afc the first time I acted the same way 
I mean no one can demand to read everything in a forum and then 3 years later finally answering a question
But the search function isn't that bad either.
If I had more time, I'd write a troubleshoothing guide or something like that for the BotF wiki. But atm I'm snowed under with work.
