I've run into a strange behavior after in the r38790 build. In a battle the game crash with a crash handler message when fighters from a ship should launched.
Steam didn't find faulty files in my installation and the crash occur with or without the population panel mod. To reproduce the crash use my uploaded game game_9730, start the battle with the pirates and finish the first round in battle. after the carrier moved the game crash.
The crash file is with over 1gb to large to attach.
