I seem to have an issue with every build over 1.65. The game starts and the music plays but the graphics display intermittently and i can only input key strokes if i time it correctly with the flashing graphic. The screen like wise is black for 40 or so seconds at a time average.
this is what the terminal says for 1.73

Currently I have a crappy card too. On my next PC (when I get a job anyway) I'll probably go for an NVIDIA card, as these seem to have the least problems with Oolite.

Maybe you could start a Kickstarter Campaign to found your £4500 pledge.
Thanks to Gimi, I got an eBook in my inbox tonight (31st May 2014 - Release of Elite Reclamation)!

Like JazHaz said - it's not the ATI cards - it's their useless OpenGL Drivers and sucky tech support that lets them down - until this is rectified (I've been waiting +10 years for this to happen so don't hold your breath!) I would recommend Nvidia.
Same problem here...nice computer (running Ubuntu Karmic) with a crappy intel graphics accelerater.
Full-screen mode (f12) sorts out most of the problems, but you might also find (like me) that the frame-rate suffers if there are lots of large or complex textures used by OXPs. This results in jerky rendering and/or the whole thing stopping for half a second or so.
The answer here is to opt for the low- or standard-definition version of any OXPs you're using where these are available.
