Game seems to be an absolutely HUGE memory hog, I reckon most peoples
stutters are down to having 512Mb or less. the game takes over 1Gb.
Egosoft claim that the next patch will make it more memory efficient -
I'm not going to hold my breath.

Can't imagine why they need all that ram, lots of recent games run well
with a much smaller memory footprint.

Sloppy coding is my guess.
