The Breen Episode 1 & 2 'lag'

Hello everyone,

I recently went through the episodes.
I'm running on a low end notebook (intel gma 965 graphics card) but have not experienced lag until i started episode 1 & 2 of the breen.

Here's the details:

In episode one and two, you are in space with a lot of space debris i'm not talking about asteroids, but the ship wrecks or parts of spacestation, dont know exactly, but these things are giving me major lag!

I think they are either too high polygons or generating too much special fx. Which i find kind of weird, because
i have all the settings on low.

I don't have lag when there are dozens of ships of players, or when on the ground. just the space debris.

It looks to me that these debris dont have low-poly / low fx replacements.

Would increase my game experience if this problem would be fixed!

    I have a ticket open with tech support about this because that very same map actually causes my system lock up.

    I was wondering what was causing crashes for quite a while after Weekly Episodes were introduced. Then I noticed all my characters crash during Breen Episode 1 above Defera.

    Sure enough... I found a spot that produces massive lag! If I keep this spot in view I get a hard lock crash:

    I think I can tweak my system to eliminate my crash. But if you're FPS tanks at this same spot I think that's verification for Cryptic to take a look at this map.
