I retired from a game last night and tried to reload the game this morning. It crashes regardless of starting GC2 from the desktop, CGCONFIG, or SDC. The SE reports are near identical.

I am sending the SE report to Scott.

The last entry in the debug file says it can't find a ship design I had created. In the game I noticed that the game was making ships available before all the techs had been researched, including defenses, weapons, and miniaturization. Because of this the game tended to build incomplete ships, with defense and/or attack of 0 when it should be 1, for instance.
