First, I am SO tired of seeing "Is that the best you can do?" right before I destroy the idiot or "You'll have to do better than that" right after I drop his engines to 0%. Ug. Th only fun one is "Hold your fire! I'm an Imperial pilot!" or whatver.

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, the stupid screen causes a noticeable drop inperformance the first 3-4 times it pops up. I'll often have a target lined up perfectly only to have that screen come up, lag my computer for a second and I lose the target. Grrr. Hyper annoying. Those of us w/ only 512Mb of RAM and P4 1.6's would like a chance to turn some of the useful effects off. I can drop the number of nebulae to zero (meaning only 75% of spce is covered by them) but I can't turn off auto-comm? Please.

Also, can we have a fast way to turn off mission wp's? Dogfighting a TIE through one of those is a lag-fest

NGE drove me to WoW. "Working as intended"?

During Beta, I felt rather strongly that the "Wing Commander style" taunt system should be thrown away, and every trace of the design documents proposing it, the developer's notebooks about the taunt system, the printouts of the code implementation, and all the disks that contain any build in which the taunt system appeared should have been incinerated.

Obviously, the developerwho wrote itdisagreed and it wasn't an issue during the big rush to get all those last-minute bugs fixed.
