Defended a station successfully, but they came back around for a second engagement. When I continued into it, the game crashed to desktop with a "null error" dialog.

All vanilla.

Zip file containing offending save and starsector.log can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b7HXS20K12EgpaSRlKCygvIBDb6fF-S7/view?usp=sharing

Thanks for the report!

I'm actually not seeing an error corresponding to this crash in the log file, and so far haven't been able to reproduce it.

What specifically do you mean by "came back around for a second engagement"? Within the same dialog, or after ending the battle, flying around a bit, and re-engaging the station? Are you able to reproduce this on your end, with the save you've uploaded? If so, knowing exactly what to do would be really helpful.

(If this crash is what I *think* it is, it may be fixed in the dev version, but it'd be nice to be able to confirm.)

Sorry, it happened within the same dialog chain. I didn't even know that could happen until this particular engagement.

I'll try to reproduce! Does CTD usually not result in a log being written? Somebody has been slacking on those `try/catch`es, haven't they?  

[Alex]

Thanks for the added info!

A CTD usually (basically always, unless it's a JVM crash) does end up with a stack trace being written in the log file; if it shows that sort of dialog, then that means it ended up in the log. So, I'm not sure *why* it's not in the log. One possibility might be, say, if one kept playing after the error and the log file exceeded its maximum size and got rolled over, but it's hard to say.

Got same bug. After defending Lacalle habitat station from first pirate attack wave deploying for second engagement ended in crash.
