DS9 instance #1. Somehow 2 party amplifiers are right on top of each other right at the beam in point. It hurts my eyes to see this after entering the station. :rage:

Leave it to starfleet dental to come in here, go off topic, and just mock us for reporting a bug. I find their behavior insulting.

Almost certainly.

Sent you an invite, just speak up in channel and we'll get you a fleet invite to whatever fleet you wanted.

I love how pubbies are lashing out at any dev, cm, or former cm who isn't as outraged as they are over colored lights. The amount of hate being piled on Bort (and Trendy, for some reason) is incredible. What's more incredible is how the game employees are completely brushing it off and not even paying lip service to the whiny pubbies.

This is the best.

Do disco balls even have a framerate effect on low-end computers or is that just what they whine to try to give their complaints some legitimacy.

As far as I can tell they don't do jack poo poo to performance on any computer that can actually run a space queue and not catch fire. But half these fucks are probably playing on mom's Gateway so who even knows.

Disco balls have a dynamic light. This will cause a minor frame hit on VERY Low end systems [think Geforce 210 and below], but can be disabled completely in preferences where it asks how many dynamic lights to use. On a Geforce 650, you wouldn't notice while running 3 clients.

The "glow" effects that pulsate and rotate are simply transparent. They will bloom slightly into the post processing, but not any more bothersome than any other lights you zoom in close too.

The Particles have no physics properties applied to them, they just display, this would bug a Voodoo Banshee, but just about anything after a Radeon x1300 wouldn't have a problem with it, and again it can be disabled in shaders.

Testing this on my netbook, The game runs for crap with one disco ball. but my netbook, not moving, in a shuttle interior with no other people.. the game runs for crap. At the login screen? Also crap.

On a laptop with an Intel Graphics Accelerator, running on low res [because it isn't meant for Gaming, just web stuff], a Disco ball produces no frame drop, and a mob of them [such as drozana] impacts me in absolutely no way. however moving objects such as crystal shards and tholian ships in CRystalline Cataclysm.. Do kill my frame rate.

In short, Disco balls should not in any way impact a user's framerate, and since there are bloom controls and brightness settings, they only impact your eyes if you're playing in a dark room as the loading screens are dark to begin with.

My computer was a mid-range laptop when I got it in 2011 and it doesn't run any worse with tons of disco balls, at least not on the settings I run.

Tweeted this pic. It's basically what I just said in graphical form.

It'll encourage debate among the community who can play Crysis 3 maxed out at 1080p and 80fps for their youtube livestream but suddenly throw their POS computers against a wall at the sight of 2 disco balls.

Change the () to []

Also I have a 4790k and a 980ti and STO runs worse then Battlefield 4. Still get 90+ fps no matter what my settings are at, turn everything down to the lowest get ~130fps turn everything to max and get ~120fps. Once you hit a performance threshold the UI thread limits you from getting any more fps out of your system.

This is a pretty good infographic but I think it's a safe bet most of the disco haters are in fact playing on GPUs even less capable than you think.

The kind of people using a GPU barely capable of rendering text and get upset when New Exciting AAA Game runs like a dying slug, blaming the developers instead of their toasters.

Don't forget the people who have thermite charges rigged to melt their entire systems if the cops show up. Probably aren't spending a ton on a graphics card, and a lot of Drozana is gonna be in that category.

Probably got pissed that I didn't really get poo poo done fast enough. Although when you can't wait for two days and constantly message me because I'm always online in Pidgin but not actually in the game or likely not even there or awake and then getting all pissy you can go gently caress yourself.
