What is wrong with Eeloo?

[Beekerson]

Forgive me if this isn't the place for this, as I'm relatively new to the whole internet form thing...

This is kind of a long loop to get to the point, but I'm not too sure if some of the information is relevant or not.

Recently I took the challenge of doing a Grand Tour of the solar system, well not exactly, just a mission to plant at least one flag in every system. One thing in need is to scan the objects I'm going to so I can get Kethane to refuel my lander. I launched a bunch of probes to the planets, moons, dwarf planets, I'm going too. My scanner for Eeloo was the most resent. I don't experience lag around objects that don't have an ocean, I guess Eeloo is a special case. While I was scanning at 1000X time acceleration I had a noticeable frame rate drop, the video becoming very choppy.

Summery: Frame rate around Eeloo drops while I'm at 1000X time acceleration or higher. I have Kethane scanners and MecJeb on a relatively small probe, less than 100 parts. I have around 20 active flights.

I'm pretty sure that's normal if your warping very fast close to a planet. I think I remember frame rate dropping while going to the Mun, or even in Kerbin orbit.

[Vanamonde]

Nope, that's not normal, it's Eeloo. One runs into all kinds of odd bugs there.

I've also experienced decreased framerates orbiting Eelo, but I figured that was because the game had to keep loading the higher res surface textures as I flew by, it was a fairly low orbit.

Eeloo likes to eat my probes. Seriously, I had to avoid naming them "Eeloo anything" until launch, as the VAB tends to rebel.

So my latest one uses a "Brute power" approach, and I'm not going to muck around with it.

You know what's wrong with Eeloo? Twenty minute transfer burns. I am never using nuclear engines again.

E: Pretty sure I missed it too. Welp. At least there's a Jool encounter I can make...

Hmm, well Eeloo is probably so far out that the Kraken has its way with anything, even at time warp..

I my self haven't had frame rate drops close to a planet or mun while warping fast, only Eeloo...

And if you think nuclear engine is slow, don't use the Ion engine, takes a life time to get anywhere.

I seem to be experiencing this too. Got a rescue mission to Moho doing its capture burn, in a very full 0.19 save, and it's running smoothly, and a Probe orbiting Eeloo in my 0.20 save, mapsat scanning. The Moho one is running fine, but the Eeloo one is stuttering slightly.

Eeloo is surely the winter lair of the Deep Space Kraken. I made the mistake of going there once. Never again.

Anyone read Hyperion? That.

I've landed on Eeloo just to have my ship begin to rock back and forth violently then asplode into glory @ escape velocity. Bill, Jeb, and Bob will be missed... at least my rover is still there.
