Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Hello. Most of the game runs very smoothly. In-station environments, wormholes, jumping through gates, combat, even factional warfare is all very smooth.

All except for a very occasional moment, usually during pirate hunts and security missions, a cluster of objects in space will push my GPU to its limit. It's extremely inconsistent and I'm able to view and function near various clusters of in=space objects just fine - This includes structure farms, enormous station ruins, and even asteroid belts. Every now and then, though, this is what happens.

My graphics options

My screen under normal circumstances

My GPU under normal circumstances

My screen in front of the occasionally bad cluster

My GPU in front of these occasional clusters

Just to prove it's not often, my GPU in front of a different cluster

So clearly something contained in the occasional in-space object cluster is wrecking my GPU. I've attempted uncheckmarking all boxes, disabling/minimizing all graphics settings, and otherwise playing poor-man mode... to no avail. Does anyone have this issue and is there a fix?
