I can reproduce this issue on two different machines. Start a game as the Yor go to the ship design screen create a new design and select the Transport ship model. The game freezes and then crashes my entire system. I believe it also happens on the ship model that is directly to the left as well, the upper support models do not crash. It's as if the model is no longer there. I verified game cache, reinstalled the game cleanly using the directions on the support site. The issue still occurs. DLC installed; Designer's Tool box and Ship parts launch pack.
Can anyone else reproduce?
