I didn't get much lag to speak of, just lots of graphical glitches. Submitting bug reps. For reference (and I say this in all my bug reps), I'm running an AMD Phenom II, Win 7, and an NVidia GeForce GTX 465 with driver 8.17.12.5896

There's a lot of issues surrounding hair physics flat breaking hair, shadows being screwy, and the floating red glowy skin thing (that is some System Shock s*** right there). The ship holo is also not particularly well-behaved.
3. Technical issues aside, there are some mechanical things I would really love to see adjusted, "quality of life" kind of stuff.
- I'd like to be able to move a little faster in a pinch. Overheat button to get "Brisk walking pace" or something. Not that you're covering so much territory, but because so much of it is functionally blank (the ramp up to the ship lookout), it would be nice to be able to speed up when you're done gaping at the pretty.
- Stairs down to the lower central area with the couch &c. Right now it's just a kind of cliff that your character mysteriously teleports down.
- Right-clicking on the ship hologram rather than just the projector to access those menus. Right now you have to click on the dinky little projector thing rather than the ship hologram itself, which is silly and unintuitive to the point where I hope it's a bug.
- On that, at the moment the projector kind of hovers in nothingness in the ship hanger area, and the big console in there is exceedingly blank. Hoping you have something planned for that
I was not all that excited about CQ, to be honest, but having tried it out even in this incomplete state I can see what you are trying to achieve and I like it. I appreciate that there is a central area where everything is readily accessible at an instant if you're in a rush, but if you have time on your hands you can take in the aesthetics. Be aware, though, that the convenience of the former is essential to the enjoyment of the latter. Don't slow me down if I'm in a hurry.
