Insects ruined my game

[dsgd47]

They killed my game too! I had defeated everything else and
was finishing up exploring the rest of the space. I had
outfitted a fleet, arranged for the Klaxar to be at the
target star (without using the beacon) and was "wasting
time" by swapping equipement until the Insectoids reached
the star. I got the initial warning screens, but then the
system hung before I could battle. I had to use Task Manager to shut down the game before I could do anything
else.
