Once again, HEEGZ, thanks for all the help you provided. You've been a legend I'll add notes once I get results from the support emails to stardock. Hopefully others won't have to go through such an elaborate 'trail and error' process as I have.
After take HEEGZ advise to basically stop any ship movement, I finally found a very strange bug. One by one I isolated my ships movement to see which one causes the crash.
