I had once a problem as i didn't choose one of the different minister files at the starting options menu...
the game crashed very often, and the safe files were corrupted... perhaps this might help

Thanks guys, but I dont have a dual core system and I've been selecting a minister style too although that was a problem at the start for me too.

I get it in the simulator (which I've stopped using) but I also get it simply designing ships.

Try turning on the design minister and letting that do all your ships, see if it still crashes. That might help us narrow it down a little.

And email MM about with as good a description as you can. The demo is probably a little more unstable thanks to all the restrictions, but he needs to know about the issue.

After playing for a few hours, I think I enjoy the game over-all. However, I agree that the UI needs refinement. Using the keyboard shortcuts helps a lot.

I would also like ship design to be more meaningful. It feels half-implemented to me. If there are going to be engine limits for each ship, then why not have engine slots? Why am I allowed to put guns in the center of the ship? Why have so many available slots even for frigates?
