Game looks great!

When I'm in the main concourse, the first few movements are nice and quick and then it slows to a crawl. Flying around in space isn't too bad... is there something I need to tweak about my X config?

I'm playing on Linux with a 32M SiS 300/305 based card.

I *think* I've got my X configured reasonably. I'll be happy to post my X config & vegastrike.config if it would help...
 
The first few (usually a guy on a station train or something) go smoothly... then the mouse hangs and every 30 secs or so the screen jumps and the mouse repositions. I switched to running in Windowed mode just so I can move my mouse out of the window so I can reposition around the outside and try to make one movement to place my mouse near whatever I want to click on.

Wish there were hotkeys to jump to the Bar, Mission Computer ... etc.

Well, ok, I wish I had everything configured so the game ran smoothly...

There are, kind of. You can cycle through them using middle mouse button.
 
Ok - I think maybe my vid card wasn't up to snuff. My SiS 300/305 (32M) was only getting 100 fps in glxgears w/o DRI, with DRI I would get ~200fps. But, the memory I had to allocate for the framebuffer took too much away from the available memory on the video card so vegastike would bomb during startup with something akin to "failed to allocate texture memory".

I switch cards with my windoze box (a 64M GeForce2 card) and everything looks great now. Great game, really enjoying it!
