I was listing the planets in the left box of the main screen and decided to change from a constructor to a freighter in a planet. It opened the planet box and as I changed the ship and oked crashed to the desktop without hope. I was not able to reproduce the bug also because I updated to the next beta version. debugg.err attached.
