Thanks for uploading the game, Mottlee. It's really interesting to see it in progress after 650-some turns! You have some wicked ship designs!
Looks like the AI is breaking down in a couple of ways. One unrelated one is it seems not to be developing very well. I haven't tried to figure out why yet.
I think I see what is causing the DBZ error. The AI defending the planet has a bunch on infantry there... with no equipment. Empty infantry units. I don't know why the AI is doing this, but it is, and that, I think, must be causing the error.
Solutions, then, for the short term, would be to have some human player go run a turn for all the AI, jettison any empty infantry, and maybe set them straight on some other stuff if you want, especially giving them an inf design that uses weapons.
However I guess they may go back to building more. Does anyone (oleg, John?) have time to use this file and try to figure out why the AI is doing this, and come up with a fix?
It'd be good to email MM too to let them know it crashes if there are troops with no components. I can probably make it so Proportions won't allow troops without components, but the AI has a way of ignoring design limits. Might work, though.
