This is not because of bitness...
Curious thing about bitness in ED - the Mac port is 64-bit, the XBone port is 64-bit, but the Windows build is 32-bit.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

I mis-read this at first as 'bitterness' in ED. Not that there isn't likely to be some of that!
Reports of my death have been greatly underestimated.

very difficult to reach such heavy memory requirements, unless you decide to load every existing OXP under the sun (btw, this has been tried by someone in the past)
I done this a few years ago when about 500 OXPs existed. I remember clearly due to this was the reason why I decided to upgrade my machine from 4GB to 8GB - with 4GB the game crashed before the spinning Cobra.

Moreover 3GB can be filled easily with some ship OXPs, my good-looking selection do it with 32 packages.
