I'm running into extreme slowdown when I'm somewhere between planet and solar system view. It happened when I was just beginning a map. It shouldn't be my comp I'm running 8 gb's of RAM and a 2.9 gHz quad-core. I did add one of the ship designs listed elsewhere on the forum but it was simply added as another "family" in the folder.
I suspect that your issue is that displaying nebula clouds in the system view is causing the slowdowns. Have you tried going into options and then advanced options and then unchecking "Display nebulae clouds in system"???

EDIT: Although I am flattered you gave my mod a shot, if you are still playing ROTS please do yourself a favor and upgrade to Legends when you get a chance. Sounds like you are running a good PC, so hopefully you have the cash for it. Among all the amazing features that Legends boasts is an important one: Elliot overhauled how graphics are loaded. They are only cached as needed (not all loaded all the time). This has actually led to higher resolution ship graphics and improved performance. Also, Legends contains Woodman's awesome new shipset artwork for every single race; way better than the colorful conversions I did for each race in this mod...

I willt ry this mod. My only problem is with the troops art, we already have a beyond spectacular troop mod, so why not use that :)

I was working on this before the troop art mod was finished, but if you like it then its really easy to replace my mod's troop art folder with the popular troop mod art or whatever you feel like using. Either way this mod really is just for those people who have ROTS but who haven't made the jump to Legends yet. I would assume that's not many people, but this mod keeps getting downloads. Take my advice and get Legends; it's well worth the investment!
