OK, first:
Hi everyone, I am finally back from my pre-holiday travels
I am already working on the various issues that have been reported throughout the forum.
We knew that new issues would arise once we had a larger player base.

About the tentaculon quest:
abandoning a quest with a race does reduce your rep with that race, but perhaps it's not enough to deter players. Will investigate. Will also reduce the device's price, since it's very quest-specific and exploitable.

About Asteroid Sector:
I can't believe that is still happening. I apologize.
I will make yet another fix for that.

About the Mac Crash:
thanks a lot for the detailed information.
from the screenshot, it appears to have something to do with the music.
Which is good, because it's one of the few systems that are different between the demo and the release version. So, in the short term,
please try deactivating music as soon as you start, and try again.
Go into main option menu, and reduce volume to zero, or click the music button in-game, until music volume is 0.

Sorry,
will fix all,
Bob
