hmm, interesting, i just changed some names around before i made the *.zip file because i didn't want you to see the dorky name i made for the ship, i figured i would give it a shot at trying to fix it again, and this time i got an error message just before the crash, so i switched to windowed mode and copied it.

The error pointed at SpaceObjects_XFiles.txt and said this:

considering this happens when i click on terran destroyer on the menu before the game even starts (i put my ship in Main_PurchaseShipsPlayer.txt), could it be that the first entry in SpaceObjects_XFiles.txt has to be the terran ships? or behind the // marks, i thought they were just comment marks but does the game read them as some kind of headers for the different groups of ships? also, i place the text for my ship at the top of the list every time, is there a certain place you have to put them?
