Are you refering to Huge Hulls, or your own mod called Gigantic Hulls?
Reply #2 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
my own mod

and i need to clearify that the ships are showing up but the hulls are not

ie you click on new and the hull isn't there but the ships are in the ship screen

It's most very likely a parse error in your own modded files, then, rather than an issue with the game.

ok i will recopy my mod and paste it back in again
Reply #5 from GalCiv2 Forums Top
kryo i am still having the same problem after i upgraded to 1.4x

only this time i didn't put my mods in yet

Considering the crash was occuring when you used your mod-added hull, you can't possibly be having the *exact* same issue if you are using no mods at all...

ok i can't but my gigantic ships are still showing up and i haven't added my mods to the game

also if i just obsolite the ships i can play the game

and i have checked to see if the mod tech was in the game it wasn't

Then delete the ship designs that use the modded hull.
