Hello and sorry if this was posted before, didn't come up on search.
I emailed a bug report and perhaps someone else has/can recreated or found a solution 
I was able to duplicate this crash 5 times in mulitplayer mode using medium map settings and pirates with a buddy of mine. A minidump would happen immediately after I put my second level into resource sublimation of the nanotech
line. We both were playing the same race, Vasari.
I am running xp pro sp2 and buddy is running vista ultimate 64 sp1. We successfully played for over 8 hours not training in it. I purchased the direct download and his is retail both patched to 1.05 (latest) and using texture mod for planets, though I doubt that is the problem. It also worked fine in single player mode.
