Issue: drastic FPS drop with building particle simulations

from Sins Forums

As the title says, I am experiencing a drastic FPS drop when a particular particle simulation is active. This simulation is attached to an orbital module, not a ship and it is very lightweight - about 17-19 particles active at any time. Yet it manages to cut my FPS down from 60 to 17.

Anyone experienced anything like this? I even tried axing the particle count to just 7, but its still the same. I am not experiencing any slowdowns with other particle simulations, even the heavy duty ones.

What module?

The new Frigate Factory. But nevermind, I fixed it. Turns out one of the particle simulation call points referenced a non-existant particle simulation, which for some reason bogs down the engine like a ton of mud.
