Thanks to you both for the info.

I found the 255 limit in the settings file right before coming back here.

One thing that could help off-set the slow down caused by extra large quadrants would be to reduce the average number of "objects" per system, right?

Has anyone tried a quadrant with say, 200 systems? Would the slow down for a 200 system quadrant be too ucomfortable using a P3 1 Ghz machine, and using the same average number of per system objects that the game normally generates?

Have you tried the Fyron Quadrant Mods yet? They are, IMHO, a must have mod for SE IV.

My system is a p2, 200mhz with 64 megs of ram.
I run 255 systems - FQM Deluxe (so very crowded and cluttered system), with 19 AI's.
The game early on is fine for me... 2, 3 min to process a turn.
But as the AI's start to expand, as their ship numbers go up, the game slows down.

My record wait to process a turn, was 50 minutes.

Heh. I have an AMD K6-3 350Mhz and 128 MB RAM.
I always work with 255 systems and FQM deluxe with TDM or Devnull with 20 AI. Late game can have very long wait times. I don't time them. I just have a good book with me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

For me... I spend the wait working on some D&D maps I have to prepare for a game I'm about to run.
