I wish they would concentrate on an optimization patch. They promised it for 3.5, decided to push it to 3.7 and then again for 3.9 but that didn't happen. Looking ahead of their schedules, 4.0 and on doesn't even have it mentioned. It is in my opinion one of the worst parts about the game. They expect people to possess super computers to even muster 30fps. If it wasn't for that, the game right now would be absolutely incredible.
That said, it runs considerably better in space without too many NPCs/Players about, so there's at least that.
