An interesting quote from AOTD_MadMax from another German site I found, in an update on the progress of v2 anticipated release in February of 2012:

When I first started in 2008 with FOTRS I did not realize how Extensively FOTRS could be times and I have thus served the usual SH3 Modtechnik so used many files with embedded TGA's. Jetzt rächt sich das da die TGA´s unheimlich Speicher eurer Grafikkarten fressen und das Spiel langsam und instabil machen. Now avenges the devour the TGA's eerie memory of your graphics card and make the game slow and unstable. Es sei aber erwähnt das selbst die Ubianer, also die SH4-Entwickler den gleichen Fehler machten was aber bei der originalen SH4-Version mit den paar Schiffchen kein Problem darstellte. It is however noted that even the Ubianer, so the SH4 developers made the same mistake but that in the original SH4 version with few boat no problem posed. Die USS Colorado des originalen SH4 hat leider noch TGA´s als Texturen und die ganz normale Textur der Colorado ist über 3 MB groß, dazu kommen noch die Ambientocclusion-Map mit 4 MB und die Light-Map mit 4 MB. The USS Colorado the original SH4 has not yet TGA's as textures and the normal texture of Colorado is about 3 MB in size, add to this the Ambientocclusion map with 4 MB and the Light-Map come with 4 MB. Zusammen also gut 11 MB die in euren Grakaspeicher gepumpt werden müssen für nur ein einziges Schiff. Together so good 11 MB which must be pumped into your Grakaspeicher for only a single ship. Jetzt mit dem DDS Format hat sich das auf knapp über 3MB für alle Grafiken dieses Schiffes reduziert. Now with the DDS format has it reduced to just over 3MB for all graphics of this vessel.

If I can figure out how to link to the site, I'll edit this post, but it is in an archive section of the site, in German, going through Google translate, and the link does not copy and paste correctly for some reason...
Good luck getting in contact with them. I gave up a couple months ago after trying to register and encountering what you did, but I didn't try from the Home page and therefore did not see that post... I still have no idea how well Google translate would do with the way I speak getting turned into German... jibberish?...
I'd probably insult someone quite by accident...
