Er
Occasionally, upon startup, I get this error message: "The ship style (name) has failed to validate for the following reasons and will not be available:
+Unknown Ship Class
I also get an error that says that my custom faction can't use this ship style because it is an unknown ship style! When I go into the game, the custom faction that is supposed to be using the custom ship style has been defaulted to Terran ships! This happens randomly, and when I restart the game, it tends to start working again, with all of my custom ships exactly where they are supposed to be! What is going on, and how do I fix this?
On an unrelated note, upon installing Crusade, the loading times when starting up the game have become extremely long, with my computer sitting on the splash screen so long, it acts as if it is "not responding"!
The "unknown ship class" error means that one of your factions has a ship style or ship parts that are not currently installed. One way that this may happen is if you make a faction that uses the "United Earth" faction and then uninstall that DLC. Yet, most people don't uninstall DLCs so there must be something else.
Can you submit a ticket, include your mygames/gc3crusade/debugg.err and a zip of your custom factions?

Do you have mods enabled? If so, that will increase the startup time significantly.
