Running the latest patch ( 0.78[b].022 ) and just experienced my first crash.

My fleet was involved in a pitched battle on the edge of the gravity well. The enemy fleet consisted of a Kol and about 30 frigates. My fleet was made up of a Kol, Akkan, Sova and about 20 frigates.

I'd had my entire fleet pounding the Kol and the enemy was preparing to retreat. At the stage were I'd just destroyed the Kol and my ships selected new targets, just as the targets were jumping out. At that stage the game totally froze.

The screen showed the red lines indicating the new targets and a couple of them stretched off the screen. Tried getting a screenshot but nothing worked and I had to reboot my computer.

Realise this would be pretty hard to re-pro, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

BTW, I'm loving most of the changes so far.

One thing that does come to mind in regards to the military and civil research centres. They should have a lower logistics cost. As it is, I think it upsets what I thought was pretty well balanced in previous patch.
