Whenever I try to hail planets the game will slow for a few moments and then crash. Whenever I try to begin ship combat the game crashes almost immediately. Also the main page shows images which I can only assume are meant to be ambient images or backgrounds, but don't show up. I can understand that some things just don't work yet, but I feel the combat and hail mechanics are fairly important bugs or perhaps my install is just funny, but I don't know why it would be.

Hello Colonial_Aurora!

I have not looked into the code for the current version in quite a while.  I will dig into it tomorrow and see what I can find.  Thanks for the bug report.  As for the images, those are screen shots taken from Unreal Engine 4 of a test system I made a while ago.  I have since started development of an alpha version of the game in UE4 and decided to skip a lot of the other console-based development I had planned.

I will need some more time.  Apparently I converted my version of the project from VS2015 to VS2017 which broke some things that would take too long to fix but I  haven't yet been able to find a backup of the 2015 version of the project so I will need to recreate it and move the code over.  I will see if I can get some answers by Friday.

While I am doing that it would help if you could describe all of the actions you took up until the crash happened.  For example did it crash as soon as you started the game and went to hail a planet or got into ship combat?  Or did it work for a while and then stop and can you remember all of the actions prior to the crash?

The more information you can give me the better.

Thanks!
