Unfortunatly we did discover a really odd bug when ships are designed with too many of the same part in a certain order. This will be fixed in one of (if not the first) update.

Sorry steeveo

Cari - campaign game, non meta I think.

Boogie - sounds like the issue right there, I slammed 3 sensors on the ship originally then went back to upgrade and the plan was to remove two of em' and use the space for a nice new shield. Nice to hear u guys r on teh case. I'll just avoid it for a little while.

game feels nice and polished otherwise, so far.

I experienced about the same crash as Steevodeevo. When designing a ship I couldn't save it. When I clicked save nothing would happen. After clicking on done not saving the ship I return to the map and then it still wants to save the ship. When I click on save, it's a CTD.

I've had some problems as well with trying to alter/upgrade existing ship designs, mostly with multiple items of the same type, and trying to remove those... For example, lasers or scanners, if i would click on their icons in that horizontal area where u can see all the current items on the design, if i picked one there and hit remove it often wouldnt work... No CTD though.

Another (different) issue I had was at one point i had a certain ship in the game (not a type, just one individual unit) that wouldnt go into any fleets, no matter what i did... Logisitics was fine but he wouldnt budge. He was an upgraded fella tho... (an F-1A Fury upgraded to F-1B status )

Speaking of upgrading, do i have to move a ship off a planet to upgrade it? I couldnt find any way to upgrade when a ship was in orbit of a planet. Or is there a shortcut key ?

encountered another a bug with designing ships. during an early Metaverse Game when the report showed up showing what stuff my planets build this round I used "Go to" to enter the planet screen of one of my planets. then entered the shipyard and tried to create a new design. I placed everything I wanted (hull, weapons, shields, engine...) and was at 27/28 space usage. I entered a name and hit save. however the design wasnt saved. When I hit done he warned me that unsaved stuff would get lost. I exited the shipyard, reentered and tried again. same result. I couldnt save the design. so after a while I left the planet and returned to the report wanting to check my other planets. then suddenly a pop up appeared telling me my design was saved (outside the shipyard at that moment). then the game encountered a critical error and threw me back to desktop.

I've had this too, but I know what's happening. The save window spawns behind another window.

I've had this too (I also posted this in the other thread). But it was in the beta. And I had the same "diagnosis" as Honduras stated.
I've sent the crash report and the smart exception to stardock (even got a reply, in where it was assumed it had been fixed)

(it was late january I think)

I've got the shipyard CTD problem like so many others.

Creater custom ship -> save (nothing happens) -> done (exits to galaxy view) -> new ship window (add a story for it) -> CTD

I played an entire game on a medium map and NEVER experienced this ship build problem. I was redesigning my ships all of the time. I have just started a new game and cannot upgrade my colony ships with more engines. Everytime I save the design......boom.......crash.

I had problems resizing at first but only due to being retarded. Crashed 3 times in a half hour last night but PC had an uptime of 4 days, restarted and reloading fixed it instantly. No more crashes!
