> In addition to existing augments add: (in this order)

Field augment array

Subspace target grid

Field disruptor

Slipstream generator BANG it crash hear every time

I just tried to reproduce in our our internal build and it doesn't crash.  So hopefully our next update will address your problem.

I have the same problems wich I didn't have before the update. I use a Insane map and it happens with Huge ships. I have a hull-size > 680. The problem occurs when I use special equipment like Missile disruptors. It happens every time when I try to use this things on large ships (Huge). Making advanced huge ships is therefore not possible.

I use Windows 10  -16k Ram.  The games just crashes.

This really is a gamebraker because after more than 35 hours in a game you can't build the ships you need.


Is there a way to undo the 1.6 update and to remove the Mercenaries espansion pack?

No way to remove 1.6 unles you backed up all the 1.5 files.  You can turn mercs off by unchecking it in steam

 

NOTE: I got the SDSupport tool to work, , mt AV SW was blocking it

I think I know what causes the problem (at least in my case)

When I try to use more then 10 specials moduls (like targeting assist), not including drones and carriers, the game crashes. Although I don't like it this is something that is acceptable for me. The system shoud warn and not crash.
