Please post your debug.err file (in your program files/stardock/totalgaming/galciv2 folder)

If you haven't already, please update to the v1.0x version of the game.

Thank you.

Just installed the new patch, same problem but I managed to save a small scout ship before this crash occured. I think it has to do with the amount of time I spend making a ship. small ship took like 5min, my colony ship took like 20min. maybe I don't know.
