Same Problem here. You can almost stop the time for these Drops. Usually the first 10 mins of a match are no problem, then they appear about 1 to 2 times. Usually in Form of a massive fps drop for ca 1 min. It happens regardless of the battle situation. It can be in very close combat with many shits but also in very long range battles with few ships. It started with the latest patch. May this be the Problem which is referred to in the 0.5.10.1 patch notes? With "Fixed short-term performance drops in battle."? When will the patch go live? it seems it was planned some days ago but i didn't see any chance in the game version.
