Can confirm the above report.
If it helps, Idle says 0% free, and battles are unaffected.

Same problem with v1.9.6 upgrade to an existing game. Bad FPS when flying around the sector. Reverted to v1.9.5 and the problem went away.

after update 1.9.6  my FPS drop <10 ;  start new game problem solved... this is my new start 999 time after update many mods without comparable...58 mod

I really like the sprites in this mod. I'm most impressed by the weapons, they fit in seamlessly with the vanilla aesthetic.
The ship sprites are gorgeous, but I do have two issues with them.

I feel that visually there is not enough depth. To me they look a bit flat in comparison with vanilla hulls.
To address this, I painted shadow maps for all standard(blue) ships in the mod and baked them in to the sprites.

I also find it difficult to distinguish between some ships with a single glance.The silhouettes Lyons, Victoria and King are similar, and when one of those pops on the edge of the screen, if I'm zoomed out, it's not immediately obvious what am I looking at. To help with that I applied an secondary paint color to the plating of all ships. The secondary color is applied differently to each ship, making them easier to recognize.

I can post pictures if Gwyvern gives permission.

I hope it's not considered rude to modify sprites like that. I wanted to make myself a skin pack, like the ones Diable Avionics has.

Go ahead but they wont be used for anything.

If I had the time I'd re-do the entire faction a 4th time but there isn't much at this time that would justify the time sink that would be.

I'll have to have nicke look into the FPS issues.

Okay, those white parts are really nice looking. I'd love those as a skinpack.

[Vensalir]

Much as I like the solid blue colour of the original version, I can't but agree with Nia's desire to see these reskinned ones as a skinpack. These two-tone skins are very appealing indeed.

[Lizzie]

They also match quite nicely with the new Ike Class

[Jade Tendency]

Yeah this update is only save game compatible if you can handle sub 30 fps. I barely get 60 when I pause the game, or when I haven't speed up time. I went from 120FPS 80% idle to 12FPS 0% idle when I fly around with time speed up.

Damn, I really like the look of this. Nicely done. I'd be down for a skinpack too.

[Zikel]

I'd be happy to share the sprites as a skin pack, if Gwyvern approves it.

I don't know how to make it an actual add-on. Looking at the skin packs for Diable Avionics, I don't see anything that tells the game to use those sprites instead of the original ones. So I assume the main mod has some built in skin pack support to handle that?

[Nia Tahl]

Literally just needs an ID that comes after the main mod alphabetically. Easiest way to do that is just copy the main mod's ID and then just add a skinpack name after that.

[Kaitol]

Yeah, you just need something to make it be loaded after the main mod so its art assets overwrite the originals.

Go ahead, I'd even be willing to put a link to it in the main page since people seem to like it.

If you ask me though it's distractingly flashy.
