I played for nearly 4 hours without it crashing and now it's just crashing all the time with specific actions which is trying to build a transporter and trying to set up a space station in enemy territory. Both actions stall/crash the game every time.  I cannot create transports so I can't win a game.

I also made the point that the planet info should come up upon clicking on the planet to make it easier to launch ships and stuff and someone in another post said it does this by double clicking on it. That's not true. Double clicking on it takes you to the ground and not the planet info where you can manage, quick build...launch ships..etc. That UI piece would likely work better if it hovered over the planet when selected or right clicking or something so it's right there rather than the lower corner.

Anyone else crashing when taking these two actions?
