***EDIT AT END***Encountered several crashes myself today relating to the Tartarus and a Small Polarizer effect error. The final one directing me back here.
*Active Mods* - Latest versions of StarSector+ (all updated required, compatible, and optional mods included), SRA 0.6 dev 3, Practice Targets 1.01, and a few other Nexerelin supported factions\ships.----------
The first crash occurred during a joint Pirate v. Independent skirmish while approaching a Tartarus ship. It was being destroyed by the opposing faction at the time of my arrival. Before the ship could even completely appear on-screen for its destruction, the game hit a CTD.
CTD Log *MISSING*Spoiler
Apologies, but I did not grab the log file entry at that time and have yet to search for it. Should I get the chance, I will dig it up if necessary.
I was unable to replicate the crash since I had not saved early enough to reach the same fleet. Searched for another 10 minutes for the fleet or one with a Tartarus, but no luck.
----------
The second CTD occurred during another joint pirate battle after I gave up my search for the Tartarus. Not quite sure this one is due to SRA, yet it did occur during the same save as the earlier crash.

Replication was not attempted due to time constraints.
----------
The 3rd, and perhaps most telling CTD, occurred at the login screen immediately after restarting from the 2nd crash.

I'm guessing that a Tartarus ship attempted a flyby in the background while I was verifying settings. I did not see it on-screen myself, but the log caught it.
----------
I made note of the issues and performed a clean install of the latest 0.6 dev 3 version of SRA. Further testing has not been performed at this time. I hope this information helps. Good luck in the continued development and testing.
----------
***EDIT***I'm happy to report that a combat engaged Tartarus ship with its shields on just appeared at the main menu. A clean install of SRA 0.6 dev 3 at least has that working. Next tests are to see what happens when one is destroyed and if the Small Polarizer is working. That's for another day.
