I have two bugs to report. At least on my system, the game crashes every time.
First bug: using same ship name between campaign and normal games:
1. Create ship in normal game. Save.
2. Create ship in campaign and give it the same name. Game crashes on save.
(note: in the original version, I managed to exploit this bug to create a high-tech ship, and using the same name in the Dread Lords campaign, build a ship with technology I did not yet have. Since I don't know exactly how I performed this exploit, I don't know if the bug still exists)
Second bug: Using same save slot for campaign and normal games:
1. Start campaign, save game.
2. Start normal game, save game in same slot as above campaign save. Save will retain the "Dread Lords" subtitle.
3. Upon loading above save, game crashes.
