I don't quite understand what you meant with this. So I'll keep it here for now.
My specks are:
HP Pavilion dv6700 laptop
AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz processor with
3 GB ram
32-bit windows 7 professional
In most galaxies and in most situation the game does not lag, however lag killer is running quite a lot and I'm fine with it.
Most if not all of the problems I am experiencing are from me not having more direct control of what the lag killer is doing. I'd prefer more option built into the UI but as long as I have direct control I don't care, meaning using commands is fine. Example /nonebula to turn off nebula permanently, and then just have a forum post explaining all the commands.
Some thing else I'd love to have the ability to manually turn off are tractor animations. There are potential problems while playing if you can't see a tractor but some times it'd be nice to turn them off since them and nebula seem to cause the most lag for me, followed by engine trails and weapon projectiles.
As for which galaxy I was lagging in, most of them. I think the one that motivated me to post was deflector or Brigand's Stronghold , I remember both were annoying me greatly. Deflector because trying to suicide over the base while lag was turning on/off was just horrible. In Brigand's Stronghold because I kept getting attacked since I was trying to farm pirate drones, it made the whole thing very hard and annoying, my drones would kill the drones before I could scoop mine because of lag.
I don't mean to come across as if I'm saying its so horrible. The game works 80% of the time pretty perfectly (lag killer cuts some stuff and I hardly notice most of the time) but those 20% of the time would be completely improved by, what to me seems and easy solution.
Edit: Also large rotating stars make me lag a bit.
