Well Fyron,
The settings I use in the game are the standard quick start settings (whatever thoses are!) for Flora or (machinelike magic race

). With these settings I sometimes (when first loading only, 2nd onwards is fine) get a hang (whole system freezes

).
The rest of the time it hangs before I get a chance to set any settings

. Either on the intro screen (always 20% strangely), or when opening anything that uses individual races stats (i.e. new race choosing or emp adding).
If this helps anyone I once had a similar (though much less severe) problem with Atrocites Star Trek Mod

, that was caused by a single corrupt Bmp in the Tholians folder (found by a process of elimination). Though this only happened when loading games that had the Tholians in or Viewing the Tholians Emp files (sometimes).
Hmm now thats an idea what about using the Tholian race for an extra magical shipset??? Does look reasonably magical
I've even tried to reinstall SEIV to solve this but no luck!
