Is there anyway to disable explosions and other effects which could cause FPS drops in-game?

theres still a small amount of lag on my system after the other topic i made. Updating my drivers helped tremendously. However, when looking at my base or a huge battle there seems to be a large amount of lag. is there anyway to disable explosions or other things which could be causing these FPS drops?

EDIT: The main cause for the lag seems to increase when i go over NEBULAS and ASTEROID FIELDS. is there anyway to remove these?

You can remove the nebulae and asteroid fields using the map editor

yeah, and I think if you go to your FO/data/sod folder and scroll down to the bottom and remove(do NOT delete them that would not be very smart) the xplosion... files then in might work, but then again it might crash.  i can test it before you do it, just to make sure, but no guarentees.  

as far as I know, it would creat a big white bug box instead, but your best bet is to remove the asteroids and nebula, and leave the blocking barriers  


EDIT: just hit ctrl + E and you can just left click and delete what ever you want, even enemy ships.
