Noticed something interesting in the Hangar. I had it loaded with several different type of ships and when I was wandering around it would stutter at times. I assumed it was just the massive poly count (inherent in these ships) trying to update.
BUT, I never saw any stutter or delay in Arena Commander, so I decided to play around with the load out in the Hangar.
What I found is if you have any ships in the Hangar that are NOT Flight Ready – you will see the graphics stutter occasionally as you move around. If you only load in the ships that ARE Flight Ready, then you can zip around in the Hangar as much as you want to.
Apparently the Flight Ready ships are getting a better optimization pass that the non-flight ready ones lack. (d'uh).
On the plus side, any ships that you are capable of using in Arena Commander are still available even if you just have a base Aurora in the Hangar.
TL:DR Conclusion: If you are seeing any graphics stutter when walking around in the Hangar, remove any ships that are not Flight Ready. - DRUM out
