Default Re: Damm Range Check Errors

"I would guess that an RCE is like an invalid table (matrix) lookup. Dim a table to 10,000 and then read index location 10,001. Boom, RCE."

Pretty much. It's not so much of an issue in other programs because SE4 has some tighter limits (which, I should note, rarely get hit in the unmodded game) and is both more and less flexible with modding. That and the AI cheats like a mofo on designs- it doesn't CARE about limits the human player has to abide by. You can have an AI stick twenty bridges, four space yards, and 200 engines on a ship if you do it right..
