--- COMPLETE ---

I have had several crashes with a crash dump similar to this one, not only with version 1.9.5.5, but 1.9.5.3 also.

I'm sure the Devs would love to see the save game for this one (see the How to upload a save game thread.)

Also, did you manage to add a non-ship (i.e. base) into a fleet or something? Maybe via the game editor?

[Strat_84]

I didn't change anything using the editor, I just played my game. [;)]

Also, I doubt a savegame would be of any use. The crash doesn't look to be repeatable, seems to be more likely to happen when the game has been running for more than several hours, and anyway there's no way to foresee when it's going to happen to save the game just before.
