Finally someone enjoying the game again. I've got the game since day one and I had a SINGLE CTD since then. A lot of the CTDs you described should be avoidable. Here's what I do:

- Don't have unnecessary programs running in the background. I use enditall, google it.

- Don't have those background programs pop up on you while running the game. BIG no no!

- Disable the screensaver.

- High time compression is for zipping across the ocean, not for playing. It eats up alot of resources the higher you go, and stations other than the map are not accessable when time compression is >32 I think. Don't click any buttons when time compression is high. The backshift key on your keyboard will drop you back to 0x time at once. Hitting it again, you will be at 1x.

@AVGWarhawk:

Enable those 3d ship wakes, man!! They look awesome, especially in external view and eat only 2 FPS on my system, which is a 1,8Ghz, 512 RAM, 9800Pro.
