It is the graphics that suffer through Vista. For me only when there are menus opened upon menus. Once I get 3 menus in (eg. Design -> create ship -> set strategies) the FPS drops from 35 in the system view -> 24 -> 20 -> 16 respectively. The ships menu on it's own is the worst at only 10 fps; right clicking on a ship from there drops to 6 fps.

I know SE-V is not a first-person shooter, but this makes moving the mouse annoyingly slow and choppy. No video settings can remedy this drop in fps. I'm really disappointing with this as I started playing SE-V before IV and really enjoy some of the features V added on. Also, that it seems this game has been ditched in updates; if it does receive one, the patch fails in addressing Vista compatibility.

I understand the System View is constantly active even with menus open, but for a mid-high end PC this shouldn't be this much of an issue.
