Crash for Unknown Reason

Ok, I'm playing a metaverse game on masochistic. I'm doing AMAZING (IMHO). Then I click turn and the game crashes. I downloaded smartException and I have a log file from it that lists all the stuff that went down. I don't know beans about coding so if the problem is there, I can't see it. Do I copy and paste the log contents into this post?

Also, does TA make it's own log file in these instances? I've checked tons of folders but can't find one. Any help is greatly appreciated :D

Hmm. I realized that on the turn of the crash, a contructor I was building completed. It said something in the log file about this being a problem. I'm using a normal cargo hull, no fancy skins or anything.

I canceled the contructor building and there was no crash the following turn. I hope this was random, because that juicy econ resource is begging me to waste the Thalans and build a starbase on it ;P

If you have a SmartException crash log, please send it to [email protected] with as much information about the crash as you can provide (if you have a save you can reproduce it from, in particular, zip it up and send it too).

This occurred again. Once more, it appears to be an issue with a ship construction. Default ship parts. I sent a SmartException zip to Stardock support with a brief explanation.

I will send the log as well as my autosave to [email protected]

One thing though, my save crashes when used. Not sure if that will help, but I'll let the experts decide that.

The game sure crashes a lot, it crashed almost every I play the game, most notable when I click on the enemy spy warning on the right site of the screen and multiple other reasons.

Yeah I get that over a dozen times per game. I quicksave before I spy on anything. The crash also occurs if an enemy spies on you, you receive a notification in the right side bar, and you click on it. It's frustrating, but this game is so damn fun I just swear at the monitor and run the program again.
