Why is the NES so damn slow?

CCP, do you know what you are doing?

The NES literally takes around a minute to open for me, perhaps you should look at the code and fix it?

I would not have cared until you began dangling the 15k SP carrot there every week…

About 400 4k PNGs with compression turned off when they were exported.

Probably.

It’s always been sluggish since I can remember.

They could make the pictures smaller, this would help the scrolling and speed

They could give the player the option to enable a “LoFi” mode that removes the background, displays lower quality images and disables the transition effects.

It should be in the settings, where the NES should have it’s own category where we can also disable/reduce the preview (i.e. skin on ship in space preview). A “set default sort-by” would also be nice.

It’s very obvious the NES was bolted on after the fact (especially to those of us from before) but that can be fixed, it can be made to be more seamless, it just requires a little effort.
