Pondering SE:V performance

[Slick]

I'm sure that we all will be happy to see all the great shipsets that will be in SE:V as well as those to be made in the future by the talented players and modders. I'm hoping that a fleet battle of, say, 30 ships vs. 30 ships may begin to seriously degrade performance and 100 ships vs. 100 ships may be too much for older systems. I'm just piking numbers out of the air here, but I'm thinking that after the eye candy phase wears off people will be wanting extremely low-poly shipsets to speed the game up. I remember reading somewhere that SE:V will allow 2D shipsets to increase performance (?)

Anyone wanna shed some light on where performance tends to break down?
