got a similar issue, just that it wasn't after hours of playing but literally right when trying to complete the first mission taken from the map room on the shipyard you're sent to from the tutorial.
took a deliver 15 slots worth of stuff mission, headed the 500 whatever distance, docked to the station and bam, 0.1 fps slideshow.

as for the hardware i'm on atm it's an i7 12700k, rtx 3090ti, 64GB ram and running from a 3,5GB/s nvme ssd so yea, i'm pretty sure it's some kind of error in the code.

Hi there, same issue here, The lag or Freezing shows after:
- Open Inventory at any case ("E"; Shoping or Looting)
- Using the Hangar (Dock and Undock)
- Pressing ESC
- Closing game Save
- Reloading of the Repairgun (using up Goo)

The above lag problem has existed for a long time and did not just appear in this update.

so one would think it's high time fixing it, surprising, eh?

I was able to pin down the cause for my menu lag. It was one of the ship designs bought in store. The ship in question is this one:

If i equip this ship on my character i will get massive menu lag for any store inventory transition to station or any other menu activity.

Problem was solved for me by removing this ship from my character and store it in my station as an inventory item. After that menu lag went away.

Hopefully this can help in the bug hunt.
