I avoid the problem with my old ships from previous games by simply deleting all the files from the SHIP folder buried under My Documents. I Do this after I finish every game. In avsari's case, from your dump log, that should be under: C:\Documents and Settings\Charles Duke\Mis documentos\My Games\GalCiv2\ GC2 keeps it's own ships elsewhere. These are just the user developed ones.
I've reported this through SmartException, so I don't know if I'm supposed to do it here, too. But, maybe it'll help others. Anyway, with 1.1 and the game I'm currently playing, the game dies within about 5 minutes of my restoring from my last save file. There doesn't seem to be an rhyme or reason for it. Here's the CRA file (sorry for the size): [SmartException] LastEx=GALCIV2.EXE File=C:\Program Files\Stardock\SmartException\GALCIV2.EXE_1146408113.CRA LastEx2=C:\P

For instance, in the last game I played, I pumped huge amounts of money into spying on the Torians (who usually out research me -- and did s
I've been seeing the opposite (sort of). A world defects to me and it has a Starport. But, I can't build ships from it. If I enter it, I can tell it to build a ship. But, when I go away, it doesn't build it. Also, even though the Starport shows up on planet, under the global planet status screen, it shows "No Starport."
