I've got 1.5X Dark Avatar. I've got a problem with a ship style not being able to find a template. But I'm not sure that's all that's wrong. From what I've gathered on the boards that shouldn't make it crash. Not only that, even when I'm not using that race, it crashes. I've tried deleting the style, but it's still in the list in the race styles, and I can't find where it's actually stored in any of my game files. I even tried simply setting the style to default and saving over it. I'm reluctant to reinstall the expansion because my hard copy hasn't arrived yet. So my questions are;
1.) What, if any, are my other problems?
2.) If the style is the only one how do I fix it?
3.) Where are the custom style files actually stored?
Thanks in advance for you time and help.
