data readouts top left of cockpit

What do each of the top three readouts measure that I see when I press the `¬ key?

K is obviously kills and R is rating.

First number is the stabilized framerate, second number is the more immediate framerate, third number is the offset timer indicator (just a percentage gauge of how much time is offset between frames based on a stabilized target, so the higher the framerate, the lower this number).

Thanks for the quick reply. It means that with all the graphics options ramped up to maximum resolution I'm getting around 140 fps/25 oti looking at the background stars and around 95 fps/28 oti near a station/planet! The time from pressing the game shortcut icon to being able to fly my ship is 80 secs

If there's any sort of testing I can do that can take advantage please let me know. My PC seems like it's up and running at last with a working stick and sound. Thanks also for the info about moving the game to C drive and rescuing my previous saved data - I've got my ships, templates, cash and experience points back

Fantastic, definitely a fast setup there if you're averaging near or over around 100 FPS even at a minimum. I'm working on a change with a certain loading operation as an experiment for a possible future update. It'll be one interesting element I'll be curious to gauge results on with such a powerful system.

I must confess that I did skip over the two loading sequences to get it down to 80 secs.
