Gravity Well size

This will be the first game Ive modded since Seroius Sam and freedom force. Looking good so far, having fun playing around with text files and cant wait to bring my amateur moddeling skills into play. Im playing around with some ideas on paper and most of what I want is within reach. after playing around with them using the developers .exe(gotta love that thing!) I came up against a pretty solid brick wall. The gravity well. It doesnt seem to have hardcoded limits but increasing its size dramatically, reduces my framerate while using the tacticle mode. It seems to be a steady frame rate drop aswell. Any one here had the same issues and found a work around or fix? Also when you zoom out the Grav well vanishes and is replaced by the engine with the planet icons. Is there a way to change the zoom distance that this occurs at? I noticed the Star grav well stays in veiw. Im guess its one of those hardcoded things. Not too big of a deal though. Oh yeah, better say how big my grav wells are. 300000.000000 round about, which is a great size for what I want. At that size it shows the whole well one shift mouse wheel scoll click away from going away. Im not too hopeful but thanks listening . Ill just most likely have to change some of the design which is still in its womb. BTW, Im a huge fan of the mods done for this game, great work! I mainly play distant stars at the moment.
