<t> I am also having this problem and this does appear to be a game breaker as I cannot progress any further. I am also experienceing the fighters crashing while landing, usualy about 25 percent of the time. Another bug that I experience is when I control capital ships that fire on an enemy carrier ...

My mistake for not being specific earlier. The crashing problems are occuring with the AI fighters.

<t> I've been playing the game since the release. I've been very happy but there are a couple of bugs that are annoying.<br/>
<br/>
The first is that fighters still like to crash when landing back on the carrier. They crash a lot too, the ratio seems about 1 crash for every three good landings ...
