right so i haven't got the best mac in the world and since i broke my gaming notebook and am waiting 4 it to get fixed im stuck on my mac.. it's alright 4 missions etc but i want to get back into pvp are there any FREE programs that i can use that won't wipe OS X off my macbook or anything i can change
issues:
Lag spikes
Flickering graphics
Ships change colors (that is pretty cool blue sleipnir ftw)
unable to render icons (such as avatars mods drones ships etc etc)
My system is a MacBook running OS X and running a GMA950 (awful yes i know)
so any tips?  it would really help me

you can't do much to get CCPs attention. they seem to pretty much ignore the macintosh forum. they occasionally post in the linux forum about the mac client (because for them it's effectively the same) but then again forget to cross post in here if it affects both linux and mac.
you could try crying but that won't help either. :P
best you can do with that machine is get leopard, install bootcamp, install XP and run the native client. i doubt performance will be great either but at least you should be able to undock.

Hi Pete X.
Your MacBook is not officially supported because of the graphics card, GMA950. This is probably the reason you're having graphics issues. Some people have reported that if you change the Color Depth to 24 bit and without the 8-bit alpha, some of the graphics corruption does no longer occur. What kind of lag spikes are we talking about? The best thing to do when you encounter bugs is to file a bug report, using the bug report system.
We always work on improving the client and resolving bugs. Some graphics issues, especially on the Mac side are driver related bugs, but we are working together with Apple, Nvidia and ATI to resolve these issues.

lagg spikes im talking total random lock ups and they can last from 2-5 secs up to 20-30secs and up to a point were it's easier to re-boot my mac.. im not running anything in the back ground ( firefox itunes msn etc etc ) and ty i will bug report
