I have made a crap load of ships to the game quite recently. And, well I crash when I add certain ones in, I will post the error message in a sec

11/11/2009 - 2::22 - Assertion failure:filename:..\src\SIM_Race.cpp,linenum:69,build:Full 1.23

I found the file causing the crash… I know because I am not crashing anymore.

If that text in the code field is from that sim_race.cpp file then this is the line number 63 and it’s the problem:
2 = 270,128,128,EXP_FRIGATEDEBRIS

If that line isn’t from the sim_race.cpp file then recheck all those ship files which make the game crash. It could be simply a missing , from somewhere.
