Hi MShadowy,
Some weeks ago i mentioned a CTD while fighting with or/and against SRA ships.
The log only showing this:
501901 [Thread-5] ERROR com.fs.starfarer.combat.CombatMain - java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.NullPointerException

After a lot of testing i figured out that this happens only while fighting against fighters, with siege mode turned on and with the tartarus... I'm not sure if there is another ship with the same abilety and if it would happen with this ship too.
The situation when it happens: While a
fighter wreck is reaching the border of the battlefield and siege mode is turned on, it gives me a CDT. The problem is, it is not 100% reproducible. But some conditions make it occure more often. There have to be a lot of fighters/bombers on the battlefield. It seems it happens more frequently (or only... not shure yet) when in siege mode, turning off the schield because flux is very high and then turning them on again (never leaving siege mode).
The tartarus is equiped with SRA weapons (from front to rear: 2x Medium CEPC (front mounts), Wavepulse Cannon, Medium CEPC (first medium Turret), 3 x Scatter CEPC (the other 3 medium turret mounts) and 4 x light CEPC)
I failed to repruduce it with vanilla only and starsector+. Until now it happened only with SS+ + Nexerelin. Problem is i didn't had the time to test it with all modcombinations plus the exact same equipment. So maybe it can happen in vanilla or SS+ too if i get hands on the same weapons. The Problem is the starting location in Nex is at a SRA Planet with the weapons on the market and with SS+ or vanilla you start at a different Planet.
I hope this will help you to pinpoint the Problem. I have no problems with other faction mods or modcombinations while SRA is turned off.
Thanks for the great work!
