When I mouse over populated worlds i get massive framerate hits, especially with fighters around.

Is there any way to get around this? I cant even look at my homeworld anymore

Do you use an shipset that you downloadet? I Have a few Shipsets that cause lags sometime.

Could you provide your system specs for perusal? Operating system, amount of Ram installed, etc.
It would help.

To be honest even with a beast of an i5, you're going to get slowdowns. My 3570K still takes a suckerpunch on planets with lots of ship traffic.

I5 3570, 8 gig ram, w7 64, radeon 7870xt

I do spam alot of fighters on my bases though, but they are the best for bases since i play on higher difficulty

Anything moving will cause lag in large doses. Not a surprise, but a big drop to around 15 FPS would raise alarm. Try slowing the game speed, that may help.
