I've just built my first colony ship, my free colony ship just colonized a planet, so only a few turns into the game. That's 4 (count them) colony ships flying out to colonize stuff.
I'm still getting CTD, have emailed in the .cra file but there's very little info there. The debug.err info contains the following: System Info Time: 1/15/2006, 00:00:41 DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) Machine Name: ARCANE Operating System: Windows 2000 Professional (5.0, Build 2195) Service Pack 4 Languages: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: NVIDIA System Model: AWRDA
There are many classic games that sound similar, one of the first 4x space games was Reach For The Stars. A classic old game. Link
I'm getting it to crash before I even go to save the design, while changing items (trying to remove old) it CTDs. Have already sent in 2 error reports, didn't think it required to send in more since I can recreate the crash on command.

When trying to colonize a planet and getting a "special event" on the planet all the options will not react when I click on them. I cannot click on "done" in the corner either. The only option I have figured out is to kill it via task manager

"you can place your Battleship infront of your Destroyers, your Fighters between them and flanks," Gahhh, learn some naval history! Your core ships (Battleships, Carriers, etc) go in the middle, then all supporting ships (Cruisers, EW Support, Escorts) with all of your Destroyers and Frigates on the outer ring.
